Chancellor

In 2001 Hample became the second chancellor in PASSHE history. Much of her work is centered at the Dixon University Center in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. She communicates regularly with presidents of the 14 constituent system universities and reports to an appointed Board of Governors. Her tenure as the system's chancellor has not always been easy.

Hample has focused significant efforts on enhancing PASSHE's Performance Funding Program and developing a System Accountability Plan, which, working together, have resulted in significant improvements in both student retention and graduation rates and has led to the vast majority of academic programs at all of the universities being accredited by professional organizations nationally. She has worked to streamline various components of PASSHE business processes, which has enabled the universities to operate more efficiently despite several years of declining funding. [http://www.pennlive.com/search/index.ssf?/base/opinion/1154981428304440.xml?pennrand&coll=1] Her initiative to establish new graduation requirements and a common academic calendar across the System's 14 universities have helped make it easier for students to graduate in four years and has resulted in greater collaboration among faculty.
