In 1996, Hoadley became the co-director for the Center for Instructional Design and Delivery.

Currently, he is division chair for technology for training and development, as well as director of the Center for Interactive Technologies in Education and Corporations.

Although a doctorate is not required for this position, Hoadley received his in health and safety education from the University of Illinois in 1982. He has a master’s in school health education from U of I in 1980 and a bachelor’s in secondary mathematics education from U of I in 1978.

On Tuesday, Hoadley will also be on campus to interview with Blair Lord, vice president for academic affairs, at 8 a.m.
