[ Welcome to nixhome.com ]
This is a site about me, Vince Nix, written with standards-compliant XHTML 1.0 Strict and CSS 3. It was created for the sole purpose of introducing you, the world, to me.
In 2010 I returned to the States after six years (doctoral research, management consulting, and university teaching) in China. I am looking to transition into a permanent position but in the meantime, I am the project manager for a two-year pilot program at Idaho State University. I also currently teach College Success, a career and personal development course.
I'm seeking a position that will lead to a dean-level position within 5-7 years. Long-term, I am focused on the north/mountain west: Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Oregon, Utah, Washington, and Wyoming; for the right opportunity, coastal locations appeal to me also.
For the past 20 years, I've been developing organizations in academia and private industry – with an emphasis on East Asia, particularly Japan and China. I’ve worked for the University of Mississippi and Washington State University where I studied Japanese language and Chinese business and culture. I was an HR manager for a Japanese manufacturer for five years. For six years I held OD consulting and assistant professor positions in China while completing research for my dissertation on Sino-U.S. trade in higher education. I have a bachelor's in sociology and psychology, a master's in leadership, and a doctorate in higher education administration.
I've taught university coursework in Organizational Behavior & Development, Leadership, Human Resources Management, Strategic Management, and Career and Personal Development.
Feel free to contact me for any reason. I love to learn, and entering into a dialogue with you would be cool!
