Jeff Capadona, professor of biomedical engineering, and Kathleen Horvath, professor of music, have been named the associate provosts for graduate education and academic affairs, respectively.
The two new associate provost positions were created to provide leadership and guidance at a time when the university is advancing efforts to better the student experience at all levels.
“Both Jeff and Kathleen bring a tremendous amount of knowledge, but moreover they will add needed voices from across the university. I want to thank the Faculty Senate Committee on Women Faculty and the entire Faculty Senate for their support,” Provost and Executive Vice President Ben Vinson III said. “I am incredibly grateful for both Jeff and Kathleen as we embark on accreditation and elevate our efforts with our graduate and professional students.”
