AAUP HONORS ASSOCIATE DIRECTOR
OF PRINCETON UNIVERSITY PRESS
Patrick Carroll Receives 2004 Constituency Award
For Exceptional Service to Association
NEW YORK, NY (July 13, 2004)—Patrick Carroll, Associate Director
and Controller of Princeton University Press, is the recipient of the
prestigious Constituency Award, presented annually by the Association
of American University Presses (AAUP).
Carroll was recognized by AAUP at the Association’s Annual Meeting,
held in Vancouver June 25-29. Since 1991, AAUP member presses have selected
an annual honoree to receive the Constituency Award, presented to a press
staff member who has demonstrated active leadership and service to the
Association and the university press community.
Carroll was nominated by colleagues within the scholarly publishing field
for his service on the AAUP board of directors, including two terms as
Treasurer, during a "time of many changes for the university press
community," as one nominating letter pointed out.
In announcing the honoree at the AAUP Annual Meeting, Lynne Withey, Director
of the University of California Press and AAUP President-Elect, shared
the comments of colleagues who wrote in support of Carroll’s nomination.
"He’s been a tireless and effective member of the board, serving
to cast a gimlet-eyed view on the hard numbers that underlie the association’s
well-being, and educating many of us as to the implications of actions
contemplated and taken," wrote one colleague who served with Carroll
on the AAUP board.
Carroll oversaw a number of changes to the Association’s finances
and internal management that left AAUP in a strong position to weather
the recent economical downturn and serve its members. As another nominator
noted, "Not only as Treasurer, but as a thoughtful and engaged participant
in all Board discussions, Pat materially contributed to the strength of
AAUP."Carroll has more than 20 years of experience in the book publishing
industry. Before coming to the Princeton University Press 11 years ago,
his career began at McGraw-Hill where he was the International Treasurer,
then Group Controller of the Asia, Australia Group. He later became Controller
of the Professional and Reference Division. In 1988 Mr. Carroll left McGraw-Hill
to become Corporate Controller of Scientific American. He later became
Vice President of Finance and Administration of W.H. Freeman, a subsidiary
of Scientific American.
Past winners of the AAUP Constituency Award are: Naomi Pascal, University
of Washington Press (1991); Harry Van Ierssel, University of Toronto Press
(1992); Tina Olton, University of California Press (1993); Richard Hendel,
University of North Carolina Press (1994); Sheldon Meyer, Oxford University
Press (1995); Bruce Barton, University of Chicago Press, Chuck Creesy,
Princeton University Press, and Michael Jensen, National Academy Press
(1996); Kathleen Ketterman, University of North Carolina Press and Anita
Walker Scott, Johns Hopkins University Press (1998); Sanford Thatcher,
Penn State University Press (1999); Janet Fisher, The MIT Press (2000);
Lain Adkins, Chicago University Press (2001); Seetha Srinivasan, University
Press of Mississippi (2002); and William C. Ackermann, University of Illinois Press (2003).
The Association of American University Presses (www.aaupnet.org) is the
world's largest organization of not-for-profit scholarly publishers, with
members in 42 states, four Canadian provinces, and six other nations.
Formally established in 1937, AAUP promotes the work and influence of
its 125 university press members.
