Effective March 5, Robert Hardy will be acting as the new Vice President of Human Relations.
In addition to running the Human Resources department, Hardy will join the president's cabinet, under President Anthony J. Cernera, Ph. D.
"As University overseer on all human resources matters, I act as an internal consultant to the President, to Cabinet members, and other members of the University's leadership team," said Hardy.
According to Dr. Cernera, Hardy was appointed to the position of vice president for human resources after an extensive national search.
"We had over 200 applications. I interviewed ten candidates and Rob was clearly the best person for the job," said Cernera.
In the last seven years Hardy has worked with the president's cabinet to create a "state-of-the-art" Human Resources system.
"As Vice President for Human Resources, I am responsible for providing overall strategic HR [Human Resources] leadership to the University and all its divisions. I lead and direct all areas of human resources. This includes HR strategies and activities relating to organizational development/effectiveness, talent management and management succession planning, compensation, benefits, staffing, employee relations, policies and compliance," said Hardy.
Hardy's vision for the future of the Human Resources Department is one that will include creative and exciting opportunities to motivate employees; which will generate a stronger commitment to the universities mission and encourage employees to connect with the entire university community.
"I plan on leading, developing and modeling a stand out, high impact HR division in higher education," said Hardy.
Mary Young, Vice President for Institutional Advancement thinks Hardy is a terrific addition to the senior management team of the University.
"He is a widely-respected professional and I welcome the opportunity to work more closely with him," said Young.

As a years-long staff member I can only say that Hardy is the ultimate yes man and Young is a total yes woman. Dr. Cernera doesn't put up with people who ever say no. (Continued…)
