Cameron K. Martin, Ph.D., will be leaving UVU Oct. 17 after more than a decade of service to the University to accept a position with the Utah System of Higher Education (USHE). A farewell reception for Martin, the assistant to the president for Institutional Development and Planning, will be held Oct. 13 from 3-4:30 p.m. in the Sorensen Student Center (SC) 206. All members of the UVU community are invited to attend.
"Cameron Martin has been a critical person in moving both the policy development and planning processes of the University forward," said UVU Interim President Elizabeth Hitch. "Without him, we would not be where we are as a University today."
Martin first joined the University in 1995 and has worked in the McKay Events Center, the Alumni Office and most recently the Executive Division during his more than 12 years with the institution.
In his work at UVU’s Institutional Development and Planning office, Martin was involved in many strategic decisions that determined the direction of the institution, including the landmark transition of UVSC to UVU. He was also a member of the President’s Council and reported directly to the president of the University.
Martin had stewardship over the campus policy and procedure processes, campus image initiatives and presidential events. A few of Martin’s recent highlights include chairing the University Transition Committee, guiding the institution’s strategic planning process, directing the development of The Online Policy System (TOPS), assisting in the creation and management of UVSELF and serving as chair for UVU’s annual Summer University staff professional development program.
"The journey of the last 12 years has just been incredible," Martin said. "Most memorable will be the many friendships I’ve forged and the experiences I’ve shared. I leave with very mixed emotions. I am excited for what is ahead, but mindful of what it is I leave behind."
In his new position at USHE, Martin will act as Assistant Commissioner for Administration and Planning - a position appointed him by former Utah Valley University President William Sederberg. Martin’s new function will involve coordination of department programs as well as strategic planning within the USHE.
