Bad Links? | Papp to speak at CCSU graduationAn old friend of Clayton State is returning to campus to help celebrate the Universitys 35th Annual Spring Commencement. Dr. Daniel S. Papp, senior vice chancellor for Academics and Fiscal Affairs of the University System of Georgia, will be the keynote speaker at this Saturdays event. Due to the number of graduates (approximately 460), the University will once again hold two ceremonies, one at 9 a.m. for graduates of the Schools of Business and Arts & Sciences, and one at noon for the graduates of the Schools of Health Sciences and Technology, and the College of Information and Mathematical Sciences. Prior to becoming senior vice chancellor, Papp was director of the Yamacraw Mission's Educational Programs for the USG, and professor of International Affairs in the Sam Nunn School of International Affairs at Georgia Tech, as well as a long time (since 1973) professor and administrator at Tech. He was named director of the School of Social Sciences in 1980, director of the School of International Affairs in 1990, and executive assistant to the President in 1994. Papp has also served as visiting assistant professor at Western Australia Institute of Technology (1977), research professor at the Strategic Studies Institute of the U.S. Army War College (1977-78), senior research associate for the Center for Aerospace Doctrine, Research and Education for the U.S. Air University (1983-83), visiting professor at Fudan University of Shanghai (1984) and interim president of Southern Polytechnic State University (1997-98). No stranger to the Clayton State campus, Papps last official appearance at the University was Nov. 11, 2004, when he represented USG Chancellor Dr. Thomas Meredith at the dedication of the University Center. A graduate of Dartmouth College (1969) with a B.A. in International Affairs, he earned his Ph.D. in International Affairs from the University of Miami in 1973. His current fields of research include; Impacts of Communication/Information Technologies on International Affairs, Forces Behind International System Change, Russian/CIS Foreign and Defense Policy, and American Foreign and Defense Policy. He is widely written in foreign policy and international affairs issues. |
