Dr. Greg Phillips is the new dean of instructional administration.

Phillips is moving to this new position after being the Dean of Science, Engineering and  Math.  The search is on for this position.

Phillips will also direct the College’s activities under the Carl D. Perkins Grant and oversee the college’s Service Learning Program.  A spokesman for Blinn said Phillips was doing a ‘bang up job’ in that area.

Service Learning involves students in activities focusing on critical, reflective thinking and civic responsibility or professional skills and commitment to their community.  Since 2004, Blinn students have documented more than 372,000 hours of community service valued at more than $71. Million by the  Points of Light Foundation.

Under Phillips leadership as Service Learning Director from 2003-20-14 Blinn received the prestigious Carnegie Classifications from the Carnegie Foundation for Advancement of Teaching. That honor places Blinn among the top five percent of colleges and universities in the nation in terms of documented public service.

Blinn has been named to the President’s Higher Education Community Service Honor Roll, the highest accolade an educational institution can receive from the federal government for its commitment to service and civic engagement, five of the last seven years.

Phillips will also direct Blinn’s Dual Credit Program, which allows high school students to take college courses for both high school and collegiate credit.
