Robert E. Carlson, executive director of UNM's Gallup branch since September 1995, recently announced he will leave his position by February to become president of Chabot College in Hayward, Calif.
Carlson said in a University statement that his accomplishments at the UNM Gallup Branch include connecting the campus and community, implementing a construction program that nearly doubled the size of the campus, building a community foundation and the development of an award-winning planning process.
Before coming to UNM, Carlson held various teaching and administrative positions with the San Diego Community College District; Miramar College, San Diego; City College, San Diego; Southern West Virginia Community College; and the Illinois Department of Education in Chicago.
He earned his doctorate in education and business administration from Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in Blacksburg, Va., in 1976; his master's and bachelor's degrees from Southern Illinois University in Carbondale, Ill.; and his associate's degree from the School of Technical Careers, also at Southern Illinois University.
UNM Provost Brian Foster said he will name an interim director for the UNM Gallup Branch in the near future and will initiate a search for a permanent director during the spring semester.
