Teresa A. Sullivan officially takes the wheel today as the University of Virginia’s eighth president, though I don’t think she’s expected in Madison Hall until tomorrow. But not being the procrastinating sort, why not give her a big Wahoo welcome this morning?
U.Va. President-Elect Teresa Sullivan will be the keynote speaker at the Howard University Graduate School’s Hood Presentation ceremony on May 6.
This is not her first gig at Howard. According to the announcement, “In 2004, she was a speaker at the Howard Graduate School’s International Conference on Inclusion in Higher Education, which was held in Bellagio, Italy and sponsored by the Rockefeller Foundation.”
(Oh, and U.Va. just announced our speaker for Valedictory Exercises, to be held May 22. Welcome back, David Baldacci. As previously announced, outgoing U.Va. President John T. Casteen III will do the honors at Final Exercises on May 23.)
Here’s a quick, Google-compiled roundup of stories about Teresa Sullivan’s election to the U.Va. presidency:
Associated Press (via Newport News Daily Press)
Charlottesville Daily Progress
Austin (Texas) American-Statesman (Nice reader comment there: “U.Va. hit a gusher.”)
