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.

2019 semester. Most recently, he served as Executive Vice
President for Administration and CFO for Nichols College in
