Doug Klein, professor of economics and a member of the faculty since 1979, has been named to the new post of associate dean of information technology (IT).
Klein says he see his initial responsibility as helping to administer several grants the College has received recently to enhance the use of information technology in teaching and learning. He says he finds that Union faculty members are embracing IT and are eager to explore new ways to use it.
Klein is a graduate of Grinnell College and has his master's and Ph.D. from the University of Wisconsin. He has taught a variety of courses, ranging from competing philosophies in U.S. economic policy to managerial economics — teaching the tools of financial and quantitative analysis essential to modern managers.
