Dr. Edelstein joined USG as executive director in 2002 and was named associate vice chancellor for Academic Affairs for the University System of Maryland in 2007. Under his leadership, USG expanded its number of participating universities, the breadth and depth of undergraduate and graduate degree programs, and grew student enrollment to more than 4,000 students.
