 Subject: Appointment of Secretary of the Board of Trustee

Oct. 19, 2011

Dear Faculty, Staff and Students:

I am pleased to announce the appointment of Susan Kies as Secretary of 
the Board of Trustees and of the University, pending approval by the 
Board at its meeting on Dec. 2, 2011.

Susan has served as an administrator and as a faculty member on the 
Urbana-Champaign campus for nearly two decades and I am delighted to 
welcome her to her new role as secretary. Her duties will include 
planning for all Board and Board committee meetings, maintaining records 
of the board, publication of the transactions of the Board, maintaining 
the basic documents of the Board such as the University of Illinois 
Statutes, and working with trustees collectively and individually as they 
serve the University.

Since 2004, Susan has served as associate dean for academic 
affairs/curriculum development for the College of Medicine in Urbana-
Champaign, helping coordinate curriculum and providing faculty support 
for undergraduate medical education. Susan also serves as an adjunct 
associate professor in the Department of Internal Medicine and a clinical 
associate professor in the Department of Pathology in the College of 
Medicine. She earned her bachelor's degree from the Urbana-Champaign 
campus, and her master's and doctor of education degrees from Oklahoma 
State University. 

Susan will replace Michele Thompson, who will retire in January after 
more than 20 years as secretary. Michele has served the University with 
distinction and enormous grace, and I am deeply grateful for her loyalty, 
her professionalism and her tireless work ethic.

To ensure a smooth transition, Susan will begin her new duties, pending 
Board approval, as secretary-designate and will work alongside Michele 
for a few months.

I hope you will join me in welcoming Susan to her new position. Her 
leadership and vast knowledge are a perfect match for her new duties, and 
will serve our great university well.

Sincerely,

Mike 

Michael Hogan
President
University of Illinois
