THIEL HIRES TITLE III DIRECTOR
Jan.
31, 2007
Thiel College President Dr. Lance Masters announced today the
appointment of Dr. Oscar T. Lenning as the director of
the new Title III grant-funded Center for Learning and Advising.

“The Center for Learning and Advising director is an extremely
important position to the growth and development of our students
and our fine college,” said Masters. “We are very fortunate to
have attracted Dr. Lenning, someone who has an extensive
background with Title III projects, as well as passion for
guiding students to success.”
Currently Lenning is the director of Lenning Consulting
Services, and has led Title III projects at three institutions
of higher education throughout his career, including Waldorf
College, Roberts Wesleyan College, and Bacone College.
In 1981 as academic vice president and dean at Roberts Wesleyan
College, Lenning led the faculty in a Title III grant writing
process which resulted in a $1.5 million grant. Lenning led
Waldorf College to receive a $600,000 Title III grant in 1988.
While serving as a visiting professor at Iowa State University
in 1996, Lenning was approached by Bacone College to provide
consultation on applying for a $1.8 million Title III grant.
After the grant was funded, Lenning was named Bacone College’s
special assistant to the president/Title III coordinator.
From 2001 to 2005, Lenning served as director of assessment and
program development at Bridgepoint Education in San Diego.
Lenning holds a Ph.D. in counseling psychology/college student
personnel administration/higher education/statistics from the
University of Iowa, as well as master’s and bachelor of science
degrees. He holds a bachelor of arts degree from Wartburg
College and an associate’s degree from Waldorf College.
He has authored more than 130 professional publications and has
served as a consulting editor and reviewer for higher education
journals. He is a member of the Ashford University Board of
Trustees.
