UT Tyler LUC Director Resigns to Return to Austin

Jolene LamptonDr. Jolene Lampton has announced her resignation from her position as director of The University of Texas at Tyler Longview University Center.

A reception honoring Dr. Lampton is scheduled for 2-3 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 16, at the UT Tyler LUC.

Dr. Lampton, who has held the position since Aug. 2002, has accepted a position as instructor at Park University in Austin beginning Oct. 20. A search has begun to appoint a new director. Dr. John Miller, visiting assistant professor of technology and current LUC faculty member, will assume duties as interim director.

“We are certainly saddened to lose Jolene. She has been an asset not only to UT Tyler but also the Longview community. Her commitment to the LUC has been apparent in her efforts to develop new programs and increase the community’s awareness of the center throughout Longview and surrounding areas,” said President Mabry.

Since her appointment last year, Dr. Lampton has reorganized the LUC staff, developed new course offerings, managed local student service activities and on-site registration and supervised the center’s fiscal services.

“I am thankful for the opportunity to serve as director for over a year. The experience has been most expansive to my career. Clearly, I have gained professionally during this time and hope to acquire a similar position in the near future,” said Dr. Lampton.

Prior to becoming a member of the UT Tyler staff, Dr. Lampton served as a senior auditor and coordinator of compliance at UT System for more than a year. She also was controller for Austin Community College.

Located at 3201 North Eastman Road, the LUC offers four undergraduate degree completion programs and five graduate programs, in addition to courses in liberal arts and computer science.

Bachelor degree completion programs available include business administration, nursing, technology and teacher education.

Master’s level degree programs include business administration, nursing, educational administration, public administration and technology.
