Since coming to UH in 1979, Strickland has held a variety of faculty, administrative and leadership roles. Following his tenure as dean of the UH College of Optometry from 1991 to 2003, he was interim senior vice chancellor/senior vice president for academic affairs and provost of UH from 2003 to 2005 before assuming his current post in 2005. He also presently serves as director of UH reaffirmation of accreditation for the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. A graduate from the School of Optometry at Indiana University with both his O.D. and Ph.D. degrees, Strickland has been honored with numerous awards in addition to holding many academic positions throughout his career. He has played a key role in international optometry efforts, receiving honors from universities in Colombia and China, as well as working to unite several international organizations toward a common goal through the World Optometry Foundation. Volunteerism, however, has remained close to his heart through philanthropy, leadership and as a champion of causes. Alongside his career, he began volunteering in the 1960s with the Indiana Optometric Association, then in the 1970s with the Pennsylvania Optometric Association and continued for the next 25-plus years and counting with the Texas Optometric Association.
