One
of the guiding questions I am asking as the Vice President of Academic Affairs
at Union Institute & University is how we can better cultivate the practice
of writing grants.
I am happy to announce the recent appointment of Dr. Terri Henderson to Union Institute & University. She is a researcher, administrator, and grant writer who has a long history as an educator and as an executive director for the Boys and Girls Clubs (BGC). Throughout her tenure she garnered more than $7 million in local, state, and federal grants. I am happy that Dr. Henderson will guide our faculty and staff in seeking external funding.
Prior
to her work with the Boys and Girls Club, Dr. Henderson held a number of leadership
positions in both K-12 and higher education. She has served as the CEO for the
BGC’s Career Connections Charter High School, as a Federal Programs Director,
and as a high school and middle school principal. She also worked for five
years as a national training institute manager for Bridges.com, Inc., one of
the premier organizations in North America specializing in online education
resources and career counseling for middle schools and high schools.
In the fall of 2012 she assumed the position of professor for the Master of Education (M.Ed.) online program for Union Institute & University, in which she upgraded the technical components of the online course modules and served as a faculty advisor to the master of education students.
Her commitment to the values of social and ethical responsibility has fueled her service and leadership roles in various organizations and agencies such as the United Way, the American Red Cross, the Allegheny County Medical Society Task Force, and the Pittsburgh Job Corps Community Relations Council, just to name a few.
We are excited to have her on the Union team and part of the Office for Academic Affairs.
