| Biography: James A. Anderson's research and publications have focused on the development of student learning styles across gender, race, culture and class; the formal assessment of student learning in the college classroom; and the examination of how diversity impacts student learning, retention, and overall institutional effectiveness. Anderson was selected as an American Council on Education (ACE) Fellow, a Danforth Fellow and a National Learning Communities Fellow. In March 2005, Anderson was awarded the National Association of Student Personnel Administrators (NASPA) Outstanding Contribution to Higher Education Award, and in November 2004 was honored by the National Association of Universities and Land-Grant Colleges (NASULGC) Commission on Human Resources and Social Changes with an Outstanding Service award. From 1992 to 2003, Anderson served as the vice provost for undergraduate affairs at North Carolina State University and chair of the Department of Psychology at Xavier University of New Orleans. Anderson received his doctorate in psychology from Cornell University. He currently serves on the board of trustees at Villanova University. |
