Administrative Leadership
Penn State is at an inflection point, as is the nation and the world. I am excited to have the opportunity to be a fierce advocate for Penn State Research during a time of immense change. Our research mission is urgent and vital; knowledge creation, dissemination, and implementation will be key determinants of human well being in the rest of this century.
