University Registrar Roger Printup will retire after Commencement ceremonies in 2007, Vice Provost for Student Affairs Greg Boardman announced last week.
During his 14-year career at Stanford, Printup oversaw an extensive migration of the Registrar Office's operating systems to the university-wide PeopleSoft student administrative system.
Printup's last day will be on Commencement Sunday 2007, he told Boardman. Prior to working at Stanford, Printup was the registrar at the University of Virginia for 11 years.
Shawn Abbott has been hired as the new director of admission. He fills a post that had been vacant for almost a year.
Formerly the senior associate director of admissions at Columbia University, Abbott started at Stanford last month, replacing Anna Marie Porras, who left the post in October 2005 to take a position in the Office of Development. Abbott's experience at Columbia included overseeing the implementation of a paperless admissions process, introducing recruitment technology, developing branding and marketing campaigns, and creating new admissions outreach efforts.
Abbott joined Columbia's admissions office in 1998 as an assistant director. He also was an assistant director of admissions at Boston University and worked as an administrator at Drexel University, the University of South Carolina and North Shore Community College.
