AROUND THE QUAD Melissaratos—who has had a distinguished five-decade- long career in technology, business, and economic develop- ment—raised the visibility of the Brown School by network- ing with his extensive corporate and government contacts in the Baltimore-Washington region. He also brought the region’s thought, economic, and political leaders to Steven- son through two Maryland Rising conferences held on the Owings Mills campus. This visibility has meant more in- ternship and career opportunities for SU students. Under his leadership, the Brown School added a bachelor’s pro- gram in Cybersecurity and Digital Forensics and was named an Educational Member of the International Accreditation David C. Jordan Council for Business Education (IACBE), affirming the School’s commitment to excellence in business education. This spring and summer, Stevenson welcomed two new vice presidents. In January, David C. Jordan joined the uni- versity as the new Vice President of Human Resources and Title IX Coordinator. Jordan had previously served as the As- sociate Vice President of Human Resources at Howard Com- munity College, and Director of Human Resources at Uni- versity of Maryland, Baltimore County. He succeeds Pamela L. A. Barkett, former Vice President of Human Resources, who retired in January 2019 after three years of service to the university. Barkett brought 25 years of managerial and Alan Carswell, Ph.D. supervisory experience to her position, including extensive work in higher education human resources for Johns Hop- Pamela L. A. Barkett kins University, University of North Carolina, and Furman University. Barkett’s lengthy career in human resources and extensive experience in Title IX compliance and diversity and inclusion were invaluable to the institution. Michael Stanton, CPA, has been appointed Vice President of Finance and Administration and Chief Financial Officer, and will be joining Stevenson for the start of the fall 2019 semester. Most recently, he served as Executive Vice President for Administration and CFO for Nichols College in Dudley, Mass.
