Dr. Sarah Diel-Hunt, CASNews Editor and Assistant Dean for External Affairs, will leave Illinois State for a position as Division Chair at Heartland Community College and will be replaced by Deborah Fox, currently a development officer at the University of Illinois. Diel-Hunt served in the Office of the Dean since 2001, where she served as editor ofCASNews and also helped create the College’s Community Advisory Board, Chicago Advisory Board, and Emeritus Faculty Board. “We will greatly miss Sarah because she brought such intelligence, competence, and charm to us all,” said Dean Olson, “but we are also excited about attracting such a first-rate professional as Deborah Fox. An alumna of Illinois State (‘79), Fox said, “I’m delighted to return to ISU and to work with the dynamic team in the College Office.” She begins her appointment on June 1.

Prior to her position at the University of Illinois, Fox served in various capacities at Prentice Hall and Holt, Rinehart, and Winston. In the late 1980s, she managed operations of the office of Executive Director of the National Council of Teachers of English (NCTE), a 90,000 member organization with a 9 million dollar budget. In the 1990s, she managed operations of the Conference on College Composition and Communication, the professional organization within NCTE serving all college-level teachers of writing in the nation. 

Fox earned her B.S. degree and teaching certificate from Illinois State in 1979 with a major in English and a minor in theater. She holds an M.S. in Education from Eastern Illinois University.
