Longtime MTSU sociology professor Dr. Jackie
Eller is expanding her “interim” role to become interim vice provost for
research and dean of the College of Graduate Studies, university officials announced
Friday.
Eller had been serving as interim associate dean for the College of
Graduate Studies since August. Before that, she chaired the Department of
Sociology and Anthropology for almost three decades.
“Dr. Eller brings her wealth of administrative and graduate
education experience to this position, and I know the entire MTSU community
will support her,” University Provost Brad Bartel said.
“We will conduct a national search for the vice provost for research
and dean of the College of Graduate Studies this academic year.”
Eller assumes the role held previously by Dr. Michael Allen, who
will be assuming a faculty position in the Department of Engineering
Technology.
In addition to her teaching duties, Eller directed graduate studies
for her department for five years and has served as the department chair since
2008. Her course topics have included deviant behavior, social disorganization,
sex and gender, and emotions, and she is a former director of women’s studies
at MTSU.
Eller is also a past president of the Mid-South Sociological
Association and member of the MTSU President’s Administrative Council.
