Mark Innocenti
Utah State University has named lifetime employee Mark Innocenti as its new Research and Evaluation Division Director.
Innocenti replaces Richard Roberts, who retired this month.
A CPD employee since he was a graduate student in 1978, Innocenti has built extensive community and professional connections during his time with the organization.
He will lead a division focused on interventions that help children improve development, language and literacy.
The Cache County location of the National Children's Study, which began operating in earnest this year, is one of the new long-range projects at the division. It will follow children from before birth through age 21 to better understand the relationship of health, environment and development to later well-being.
Inncocenti has served on the Council for Exceptional Children Board of Directors as a member-at-large and is a past president of the CEC's Division for Early hildhood Board. In 1999, he became a fellow for the Zero to Three National Center for Infants, Toddlers and Families.
