HUNTINGTON -- Jamie Warner, associate professor of political science at Marshall University since 2005, is the new associate dean for the College of Liberal Arts.

David Pittenger, dean of the college, said Warner begins her official duties on July 1.

"Dr. Warner brings much to the office. She is a superior teacher and well-regarded scholar," Pittenger said. "Moreover, she represents the student centered attitude that is the hallmark of this college. In the coming months, Dr. Warner will review our policies and procedures regarding advising and student retention. Our goal is to ensure students have the best possible educational experience while at Marshall University."

Warner has been at Marshall since 2002, when she was hired as an assistant professor of political science. In 2004, she was awarded both the Pickens-Queen and College of Liberal Arts Outstanding Teaching Awards. Before coming to Marshall, she was a visiting assistant professor of political science at the University of the South (Sewanee) from 2001 to 2002.

"I'm very excited about the new challenges this position will present," Warner said. "I'm also looking forward to working with students throughout the College of Liberal Arts, as well as both David and the COLA staff."

Warner received her B.A. from Millersville University in 1991, her M.A. from Penn State University in 1995 and her Ph.D. in political science with a minor in women's studies from Penn State in 2001.
