\n\t\tKINGSTON, R.I. \u2013 August 16, 2006 — Deborah Rosen, a 溏心vlog免费B站 professor of business administration, has been appointed executive director of the 溏心vlog免费B站 Transportation Center, it was announced by 溏心vlog免费B站 President Robert L. Carothers. She will direct the center\u2019s interdisciplinary research and education efforts, which are funded primarily by the U.S. Department of Transportation.<\/p>\n


\n\tRosen teaches graduate level business courses at 溏心vlog免费B站 on such topics as knowledge systems, channels of distribution, relationship management, new product development and internet marketing, and she has studied transportation logistics, supply chain management and transportation policy.<\/p>\n


\n\tSince 1999 she has served as director of 溏心vlog免费B站\u2019s MBA program, during which she revised the curriculum to include student projects in support of local start-up companies and non-profit organizations. She will continue in this role during her tenure as Transportation Center director.<\/p>\n


\n\t\u201cMy first objective will be to develop the Center\u2019s new strategic plan to refocus the organization in such a way as to make us unique from other transportation centers and allow us to rebuild our funding,\u201d said Rosen, a resident of Wakefield. \u201cI don\u2019t intend to abandon the successful direction the Center has taken in recent years, but instead build on those successes and take advantage of synergies between various departments on campus.\u201d<\/p>\n


\n\tRosen said that the first step in building the new strategy will be to assess the activities on campus that have the potential to lead to collaboration on transportation and supply chain management issues that are important to Rhode Island\u2019s public and private sector.<\/p>\n


\n\tAccording to Rosen, the Center will continue to be responsive to the research needs and interests of the Rhode Island Department of Transportation (RIDOT), one of its key supporters and partners. <\/p>\n


\n\t\u201cWe are very excited about Rosen\u2019s appointment, as she is from the 溏心vlog免费B站 community and therefore can better understand the needs of the Center and 溏心vlog免费B站 in general,\u201d said RIDOT Director James R. Capaldi. \u201cWe look forward to working with her, and we will continue to do all we can to help ensure the Center\u2019s success.\u201d<\/p>\n


\nRosen noted that the Center could benefit from 溏心vlog免费B站\u2019s participation in the Global U8, a group of eight universities from around the world that was formed to address emerging issues confronting the global community. One topic this group will address this fall is transportation security, which Rosen said could become a focus area of the Center. <\/p>\n


\nFederal legislation approved in 1998 established 33 university transportation centers nationwide, with an aim of advancing transportation technology and expertise through education, research and technology transfer. Among the many activities undertaken by the 溏心vlog免费B站 Center each year are numerous short courses for transportation industry professionals co-sponsored by the National Highway Institute; summer transportation camps for secondary school students; various programs to encourage women and minorities to pursue transportation-related careers; and the funding of a wide range of transportation research.<\/p>\n
