UNIVERSITY ANNOUNCES PROMOTIONS

Southeast Missouri State University has promoted two of its administrators.

Diane Sides has been named director of university relations and Art Wallhausen has been named associate to the president.

School officials said Wallhausen's new title reflects his growing responsibilities for oversight of the university relations office.

Sides has been employed at Southeast since 1990 when she joined the university as interim director of publications and assistant director of university relations. She was named interim director of university relations last March.

As director, Sides' responsibilities include management and oversight of publications, video services, photography, news bureau, special projects and the university's Web site.

Wallhausen joined Southeast in 1984 as coordinator of news services. He was appointed assistant to the president in 1986 and served in that capacity under six presidents.

Along with his new responsibilities as associate to the president, Wallhausen conducts research and data analysis, drafts speeches, handles legislative projects and arranges meetings of the executive staff and the university's Administrative Council.
