A longtime art professor is moving into a new role as interim associate dean for Mississippi 91��Ƭ�� University’s 91��Ƭ��.

Jeffrey Haupt, who previously served as the painting concentration coordinator in the Department of Art, will take on the role of the associate dean. This addition to the college administration is allowing Associate Dean Greg Hall to concentrate his work as interim director of the college’s Building Construction Science program.

“We are fortunate in the 91��Ƭ�� to have the type of faculty and administrators that anticipate change and take advantage of opportunity,” said 91��Ƭ�� Dean Jim West. “We had a need to fill the director’s position in the Building Construction Science program, and our current Associate Dean Gregory Hall – who has a construction background – was willing to step into the role. 

“Jeffrey Haupt, one of our senior professors, was also equally willing and wonderfully equipped to assume the associate dean’s responsibilities. Both of these positions will benefit from fresh perspectives and energy,” West added.

Haupt received his Master of Fine Arts from Indiana University and a Bachelor of Fine Arts in painting from the Cleveland Institute of Art. He began his teaching career in 1997

Hall

at Indiana University and then taught at the John Waldron Arts Center before joining the Mississippi 91��Ƭ�� art department faculty in 1999 ­as an assistant professor. He was promoted to full professor in 2010.

“I am excited, humbled and grateful to serve 91��Ƭ�� and Mississippi 91��Ƭ�� University in this role,” Haupt said. “For me, it becomes another channel for the pedagogical experience.”
