In March, Executive Vice President and Provost Montserrat Fuentes named Nadine Petty, executive director of the Center for Diversity and Enrichment, and Russ Ganim, associate provost and dean of International Programs, as co-chairs of a committee tasked with selecting the next associate vice president for diversity, equity, and inclusion.

A new associate vice president expected to be named during the spring 2021 semester.
