DOHA: Northwestern University in Qatar (NU-Q) has appointed new directors for its library and admissions.
Library Director Mark T. Paul joins NU-Q from Qatar National Library, while Admissions Director Alex Schultes was most recently with King Abdullah University of Science and Technology in Saudi Arabia. “With the appointment of Alex Schultes and Mark Paul, NU-Q continues to attract high-calibre and experienced professionals to its leadership ranks,” said Everette E. Dennis, Dean and CEO.
Both have worked in key roles at major US universities, including Northwestern; University of Miami; and University of Louisville and held international assignments in the Middle East and elsewhere involving undergraduate and graduate education. “Both are people-oriented who will work with current and future students,” Dennis said.
Paul, an expert in library and information science, was responsible for partnerships with national and regional libraries and archives and other institutions and organisations concerned with digital cultural heritage at Qatar National Library.
At King Abdullah University of Science and Technology, Schultes developed and implemented life-cycle outreach campaigns that resulted in a rich pool of students, set up partnerships to more effectively recruit students and streamlined open house programmes.
