FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. - The University of Arkansas and the Division of Student Affairs announce the promotions of Sue Borrego, to associate vice chancellor for Student Affairs and dean of students, and Ainsley Carry, to interim assistant vice chancellor for Student Affairs effective August 19. Borrego's salary will be $98,000, and Carry's salary will remain at $74,971.

"Dr. Borrego has a long record of leadership, service and involvement in campus committees and community organizations and is doing an outstanding job for the Division of Student Affairs," said Johnetta Cross Brazzell, vice chancellor for Student Affairs.

"Throughout his career, Dr. Carry has chosen to focus on the educational needs and delivery of services to academically at-risk students," Brazzell added. "His experience, leadership, and desire to support students will be greatly enhanced in his new role within the division."

Prior to arriving at the university in July 2003, Borrego served as an associate professor at Rossier School of Education, teaching classes in higher education, advising master's and doctoral students and co-directing the M.A. program. She most recently served as associate dean/director for the Office for Minority Student Affairs at California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, Calif.

Borrego received her B.A. in Speech and Communication from Northwest Nazarene College, her M.A. in Social Science from Azusa Pacific University and her Ph.D. at Claremont Graduate University, focusing in the area of higher education and social justice.

Ainsley Carry joined the U of A in December 2001 as the director of Student Support Services. Since then, he has played a vital role in the creation of the Enhanced Learning Center and serves as associate dean of students.

Located on the ground floor of Gregson Hall, the Enhanced Learning Center provides programs and services to help students achieve their academic goals. The center, which was made possible through a $100,000 gift from the Winthrop Rockefeller Foundation and a partnership between the Division of Student Affairs and the Division of Academic Affairs, offers tutoring, supplemental instruction, study skills workshops and math and writing resources.

Carry received his B.A., M.A. and doctoral degrees from the University of Florida.
