Case Western Reserve University President Names Inaugural Vice President for Inclusion, Diversity and Equal Opportunity
In December, President Barbara R. Snyder announced the appointment of Marilyn Sanders Mobley as Case Western Reserve University's first Vice President for Inclusion, Diversity and Equal Opportunity. Mobley, most recently Provost at Bennett College for Women, emerged from an exhaustive search that drew more than 130 applicants for the new, Cabinet-level position.

"Marilyn Mobley's record as a scholar and academic leader make her extraordinarily well suited to help us enhance and expand our efforts toward diversity on this campus," President Snyder said. "Her intellect, thoughtfulness and passion for these issues impressed everyone involved in the search process."

Mobley has the added advantage of knowing CWRU as a student. A native of Akron, Ohio, she earned her doctorate in English here in 1987, working with Professor Gary Stonum as her adviser. Full Story
