Darling Named Academic Director of Thornton Center
February 15, 2001 | General
In that position, she had responsibility for a centralized advising center which serves more than 6,000 undecided and pre-professional students. She has worked closely with academic departments across campus.
Dr. Darling has been particularly interested in and dedicated to first generation students and others who are at risk of academic failure in a large university environment, Dickey said. This experience qualifies her well for her role at the Thornton Center, as does the confidence the University community has in her devotion to academic integrity.
Dr. Darling holds an Ed.D and M.S. in Educational Psychology from the University of Tennessee and a Bachelor of Music degree from Westminster College in Princeton, N.J.
