\u201cWe are excited to have Dr. Carroll join our 性视界传媒 family. I know she will do an extraordinary job in capitalizing on the great work we already do and advancing research, teaching and engagement in our College of Education and Human Performance,\u201d said A. Dale Whittaker, 性视界传媒 provost and vice president for academic affairs.<\/p>\n

The Georgia native said she is eager to join 性视界传媒\u2019s family.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy imagination was captured by the sense of possibility and energy that 性视界传媒 exudes across the campus,\u201d Carroll said. \u201cThat energy is apparent in the faculty, students, administrators, and community stakeholders.\u00a0 As I learned more about the university\u2019s priorities I found that they align beautifully with the values that have been important to me throughout my career as an educator.\u201d<\/p>\n
Carroll, or Sissi as she prefers to be called, was inspired to pursue teaching because of her family. She taught her twin brother and her older brother \u201ca thing or two\u201d from very early on. Carroll\u2019s older sister Peggy was born with an extreme intellectual disability.<\/p>\n
\u201cI wondered, as a child, why I could talk, understand television shows, play with friends, and Peggy could not enjoy any of those things,\u201d Carroll said. \u201cI also noticed that she never got angry or sassy like I did, but that she smiled and giggled whenever one of the family gave her a hug. From Peggy, I learned that being able to think and to learn is a gift.\u201d<\/p>\n
Carroll plans to move in July with her husband, Joe Donoghue, her dog, Sunny, and cat, Carl Sandburg, named after the late poet. Donoghue will become a professor of geosciences in the College of Sciences.<\/p>\n
Carroll will be taking over from Grant Hayes, who served as interim dean since September. \u00a0He will be joining East Carolina University in July as the new dean and distinguished professor in its College of Education.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"After conducting a national search, the University of Central 性视界传媒 has selected Pamela S.
