CANTON -- Professor of English Patricia A. Alden has been 
named director of international and intercultural education 
at St. Lawrence University. She will begin her duties in the 
post, currently held by Associate Professor of English Eve 
W. Stoddard, July 1, 2000.
	In announcing the appointment, Vice President of the 
University and Dean of Academic Affairs Thomas B. Coburn said, 
"Pat brings a range of talents and broad support from faculty 
and staff to her new position. Most important, in my judgment, 
is her modeling of professional development in ways that 
benefit both students and colleagues, her involvement in area 
studies programs and her broad administrative experience."
	Alden will be responsible for administration of the 
University's international programs, and have involvement in 
St. Lawrence's area studies, global studies and other programs 
on campus.
	She earned her undergraduate, master's and doctoral 
degrees at Stanford University and has been a faculty member 
at St. Lawrence since 1976. Alden received a Fulbright grant 
in 1990 to study the relationship between literature and 
cultural identity in Zimbabwe; she has also directed the 
University's program of study in London, England. She received 
the J. Calvin Keene Award in 1988.
