做厙惇蹋app welcomes Tim Loomer, who joins the staff July 1 as director of research, planning and implementation and assistant to the president for board relations. For the past two years, he has served as interim head of school at Providence.
Were delighted to bring Dr. Loomer to campus, and I look forward to working closely with him, says President Gayle D. Beebe. He is very collaborative and data-driven and will make a significant contribution to our strategic planning efforts.
