Associate Provost for Undergraduate Affairs

Janie M. Fouke, Provost

I am pleased to announce that Dr. Daniel Wubah, special assistant to the president at James Madison University, has been appointed to serve as Associate Provost for Undergraduate Affairs effective July 1, 2007.

At James Madison, Dr. Wubah has helped to develop undergraduate curriculum, new programs and academic units, and international programs, including an undergraduate research program that is one of only two in Africa funded by the National Science Foundation.

He designed and established a program that pays the full cost of attending James Madison for students from low socio-economic backgrounds or for students who are the first in their families to attend college – a program similar to UF’s Florida Opportunity Scholars program. Dr. Wubah also completed two programs that have smoothed the transfer of minority students in science and mathematics from community colleges to state universities in Virginia.

He received his B.Ed. and B.Sc. from the University of Cape Coast in Ghana, his M.S. from the University of Akron, and his Ph.D. from the University of Georgia.

Please join me in welcoming Dr. Wubah to his new position.
