Associate Dean Named Interim Director of Business Operations
By MC1 Lewis Hunsaker
Graduate School of Business and Public Policy (GSBPP) Associate Dean Capt. James Hitt is pictured in front of Herrmann Hall, Feb. 5. Hitt will be leaving his position at GSBPP to serve as NPS' Interim Director of Business Operations.
Hitt aims to help NPS faculty and staff to navigate the "box" of complex regulations and procedures that may inadvertently become an impediment to the important work that occurs at NPS.
"I have been working at the business school for over two years now, so the 'box' is very comfortable. [Serving] as the Director of Business Operations, even for a short period of time, gives me a new perspective on things and the opportunity to see into the 'boxes' of other people."
Throughout Hitt's 29-year naval career he has done everything from navigating the USS Kitty Hawk (CV 63) to flying P-3 aircraft. He received a Masters in Computer Science from NPS in 2010.
"I'm very thankful to be back at NPS and it's always great to work with the new and amazing people here," said Hitt.
