About University of Texas at Arlington (Nedderman Administration). Office of the President Records
Wendell Nedderman served as president of the University of Texas at Arlington from February 1974 to July 1992. It was a particularly interesting period in the history of UTA to quote Nedderman, "During my tenure in the President's chair, change has been the order of the day. A somewhat unique aspect of my tenure has been that associated with a relatively new, rapidly growing university whose role and scope has been in a constant state of evolution toward graduate programs and research as well as with other facets associated with a comprehensive, maturing university. Enrollment has increased from 13,500 in 1972, to 25,271 in 1991. Graduate student enrollment has increased from 936 to over 4,200. We have added twenty baccalaureate, twenty-three masters, and seventeen doctoral degree titles during the same period of time. Furthermore, a School of Architecture, a School of Nursing, and a Center for Professional Teacher Education have been added. The physical plant inventory shows some twenty new buildings or major additions to buildings."
He had served the University of Texas at Arlington in many capacities prior to his work as president. He was the first Dean of Engineering, a post he held, 1959-1969, while concurrently serving as vice president for Research and Graduate Affairs, 1967-1968, and as the Graduate School administrator, 1967-1969. He also was vice president for Academic Affairs, 1968-1972.
