Then she turned to media studies to learn more about the history of telephones, radios, the&nbsp;Internet,&nbsp;and other&nbsp;communication&nbsp;devices.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Her undergraduate degree in history is from the University of Calgary; her master\u2019s degree&nbsp;in&nbsp;communications from Carleton University, and her Ph.D. in communication and science studies at the University of California, San Diego.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"alignright uwm-f-quote uwm-u-align--right\"><blockquote>&#8220;I really look forward to helping students succeed and figuring out what I,\u00a0and the faculty and staff,\u00a0can do to help.\u00a0It\u2019s\u00a0such a very cool opportunity.&#8221;<\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Her work in communications led to policy research and information studies.&nbsp;She came to UWM in 2011 for her post-doctoral fellowship&nbsp;in information policy. She joined the faculty as an assistant professor in the 2012-2013 academic&nbsp;year and&nbsp;became an associate professor in 2019.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Shortly before Dietmar Wolfram, the\u00a0previous\u00a0associate dean\u00a0and\u00a0head of school,\u00a0retired in 2024, Kozak was asked to take on more administrative responsibilities. She\u00a0found out\u00a0she liked it. She\u00a0said, \u201cIt\u2019s\u00a0definitely a\u00a0shift. I love the classroom, but\u00a0it\u2019s\u00a0a nice change. I can serve students differently now and\u00a0that\u2019s\u00a0really appealing.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Her role as head of school will give her the opportunity to start and continue work on issues the school is facing.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Enrollment is a key concern. Like most other universities and programs, SOIS faces a \u201cdemographic cliff,\u201d she said. The overall number of traditional college age students is&nbsp;declining,&nbsp;and young people are choosing other career and education options.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>UWM and SOIS have been successful in attracting nontraditional age students, many already in the workforce, which counters some of this demographic shift, according to Kozak.&nbsp;SOIS needs to continue to support these students as well as traditional students, she said.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThere are a lot of learners, not just traditional college learners,\u201d she said. \u201cThat\u2019s been something SOIS has done an amazing job at since I\u2019ve been here and before I got here.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Options&nbsp;she\u2019d&nbsp;like to continue and build on include certificate programs, micro&nbsp;credentials&nbsp;and pathways for&nbsp;library&nbsp;paraprofessionals&nbsp;to complete degrees.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Integrating AI into SOIS and university coursework is another ongoing challenge as students prepare themselves for future opportunities and worry about the impact of&nbsp;new technology&nbsp;on their careers.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve done a lot of work in the last&nbsp;couple&nbsp;years around developing courses that are centered on AI&nbsp;tools and&nbsp;literacy,\u201d Kozak said.&nbsp;That means not just developing stand-alone AI&nbsp;courses but&nbsp;integrating&nbsp;it&nbsp;into existing courses where&nbsp;appropriate.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Employers are going to expect information systems and library science graduates to be comfortable with AI, she said.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kozak looks forward to continuing to collaborate with the other schools in the <a href=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/community-engagement-professions\/\">College of Community Engagement &amp; Professions<\/a> (CCEP) \u2014 the Helen Bader School of Social Welfare and the School of Education. While the schools&nbsp;maintain&nbsp;their own identities, they can&nbsp;benefit&nbsp;from continued collaboration in research,&nbsp;teaching&nbsp;and community service, she said.&nbsp;A faculty member at&nbsp;SOIS, for example,&nbsp;worked&nbsp;with Helen Bader to&nbsp;develop&nbsp;a course on trauma-informed librarianship. Another possibility, Kozak said, might be a course on research&nbsp;methodology&nbsp;for doctoral students across all three schools.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"uwm-f-quote\"><blockquote>&#8220;One of the things that is\u00a0amazing\u00a0here is seeing how college education changes lives in real tangible ways for our students and their families.&#8221;<\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>In the meantime, Kozak faces the challenge of continuing her own research and writing while becoming more involved with administration.&nbsp;She\u2019s&nbsp;currently working on a book about public-private partnerships in information services and technology.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In general, her research&nbsp;has&nbsp;explored&nbsp;how individuals, communities, and organizations understand, adopt, contest, and reject the information regulations, policies, and laws created by local, regional, and national governments.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The book, however, looks&nbsp;more specifically&nbsp;at how&nbsp;corporations provided information to their employees and clients in the first half of the 20th century.&nbsp;Growing up in Canada,&nbsp;she&nbsp;became&nbsp;fascinated by the interplay between the public and private in a mixed economy. These partnerships have&nbsp;captured her interest&nbsp;throughout her academic career, she said.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One journal article she wrote about&nbsp;how&nbsp;U.S. and British department stores&nbsp;once&nbsp;offered information bureaus contributed to her interest in doing the book, she said. That article was inspired by Agatha Christie mysteries&nbsp;that mentioned using the information bureau at London\u2019s Selfridges Department store to do research.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While she&nbsp;plans to carve out time to finish&nbsp;writing&nbsp;the book, her&nbsp;main focus&nbsp;will be on helping students through her new role, Kozak said.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI just love being at UWM. I have such tremendous respect for our students,\u201d&nbsp;she added,&nbsp;with many working full-time or raising families.&nbsp;A large number&nbsp;also&nbsp;come from underrepresented minorities or are the first in their families to go to college.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a&nbsp;first-generation&nbsp;student herself, she recognizes the special challenges and&nbsp;rewards.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s&nbsp;why she likes to attend commencements and recognition ceremonies, Kozak said. \u201cCollege changed my life. One of the things that is&nbsp;amazing&nbsp;here is seeing how college education changes lives in real tangible ways for our students and their families.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Kathleen Quirk Nadine&nbsp;I.&nbsp;Kozak&nbsp;will become the associate dean and head of school for&nbsp;the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee&nbsp;School of Information Studies&nbsp;May 25.&nbsp; Kozak, associate professor of information studies,&nbsp;is excited about the new role.&nbsp;&nbsp; \u201cI really look forward to helping students succeed and &hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3016,"featured_media":997,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":"","uwm_wg_additional_authors":[]},"categories":[24],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-10824","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.5 (Yoast SEO v27.5) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>School of Information Studies<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/informationstudies\/dr-nadine-i-kozak-named-sois-associate-dean-and-head-of-school\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Dr. Nadine I.
