posted 06/28/06

DMACC has selected Steven Schulz as the next Provost for its Carroll Campus. Schulz will assume his duties on July 1 when he replaces retiring Provost Jim Knott.

Schulz has been working at the DMACC Carroll Campus for the past two years as the DMACC/University of Northern Iowa (UNI) 2 + 2 Coordinator, a joint program that allows students to earn a bachelor’s degree from the Carroll Campus.

“Steve has excellent credentials that will allow him to continue the tradition of quality and excellence at the Carroll Campus,” said Kim Linduska, DMACC’s Executive Vice President of Academic Affairs. “He has strong relationships in the K–12 school districts, at the University of Northern Iowa and in the communities that surround Carroll. These connections will create a collaborative environment for education and economic development to thrive. Steve is also a talented administrator who will bring great enthusiasm to DMACC,” added Linduska.

DMACC President Rob Denson stated, “Steve will be a valuable addition to the entire DMACC leadership team.”

As Provost, Schulz will oversee a 27,000-square-foot educational facility and seven programs that have nearly 1,000 students enrolled each semester. Schulz said one of his first duties will be to assess the services DMACC provides to its communities and then develop a plan to move forward.

“DMACC has played an important role in this region for the past 17 years, and I want to continue supporting those communities and providing outstanding educational opportunities for students,” said Schulz, who has been active in Carroll for 15 years. Recently, he served as the president of the Carroll Chamber of Commerce, president of the Carroll Area Development Corporation Board and written a successful grant providing local high schools with $450,000.

Schulz received his bachelor’s degree from Wartburg College, his master’s degree from UNI and is currently a doctoral student at Iowa State University. He has been involved in education for 23 years and was employed as an instructor, a principal and a superintendent before coming to DMACC. Schulz and his wife Cathie have two daughters, Caitlyn and Lindsey.
