Brown U. president names new assistant

PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) -- An associate dean at Princeton's public affairs school has been named assistant to Brown University's new president.

The university says Kimberly Roskiewicz will start work as assistant to Christina Paxson on Aug. 27. She is currently associate dean for operations at Princeton's Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs.

Paxson was formerly dean of the Woodrow Wilson School. She took over as Brown's 19th president in July.

Roskiewicz graduated from the University of Rochester and earned master's degrees in public health and business at Boston University. She worked at BU's school of medicine and later at Albany Medical Center in New York before joining Princeton.
