After a national search, Dean Tyler Stovall, Dean of the Undergraduate Division, is pleased to announce that Roseanne Fong has been named Director of the Office of Undergraduate Advising for the College of Letters and Science. Ms. Fong, a graduate of Berkeley, has been a member of the professional Berkeley staff for 29 years in a variety of leadership positions in Student Services. She served as Director of the Cal Corps Public Service Center for 10 years, and since 1992 she has provided leadership in New Student Services, where she has been Director since 1999.
During her professional career, Ms. Fong has received campus recognition for her service with the Chancellor’s Outstanding Staff Award, the Excellence in Management Award, the Student Life Achievement Award, and she was nationally recognized as the Outstanding Orientation Professional in 2006. She has also been a prominent member of numerous significant committees and task forces on the campus–the Alcohol Prevention Coalition, Council of Staff Organizations, Student Systems Policy Committee, Cal Veteran’s Group. And, she served as Chair of the Asian Pacific American System-wide Alliance (APASA) for nine years.
Ms. Fong assumed leadership for the Office of Undergraduate Advising, which provides front line academic advice to some 18,000 students in the largest college on the Berkeley campus, on Monday, October 10, 2011. Dean Stovall is confident that, given her demonstrated strengths in staff supervision, fiscal management, collaboration with campus partners, and her sustained advocacy on behalf of students at Cal, she will bring a spirit of inclusiveness and student centered experience to this significant campus leadership position.
