ATHENS, Ohio (June 4, 2008) -- Professor of Political Science Harold "Spike" Molineu will serve as interim dean of the Honors Tutorial College for one year, effective July 1. He replaces Ann Fidler, who has accepted a one-year appointment as interim associate provost for strategic initiatives.

Molineu also will teach the required fall seminar for all incoming HTC students.
Dean Fidler Bids Farewell to the HTC
ATHENS, Ohio (July 2, 2008) -- During the course of the past six years, it hasn't been difficult to pin down Ann Fidler, dean of the university's Honors Tutorial College. Your best bet would be 35 Park Place, where her office is notoriously lit up well into the evenings. The next-best guess would be the bike path, where Fidler often can be found marathon training to the audio of NPR downloads on her trusty iPod. Now, one of those faithful whereabouts has changed.
Ann Fidler, Dean
Ann Fidler began her term as the dean of the Honors Tutorial College in July 2002. Before becoming dean, she was a faculty member in Ohio University's Department of History. Fidler received a J.D. and a Ph.D. from the University of California at Berkeley. She graduated summa cum laude and Phi Beta Kappa from the University of Kansas with a B.A. honors degree and a triple major in History, Art History and English. She is the author of publications in the field of legal history and legal culture, and is currently working on a biography of Albert G. Riddle-- a nineteenth-century lawyer, novelist and politician who was one of the first professors at Howard University Law School.
