MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — WVU provost and vice president for academic affairs Joyce McConnell has been named as the finalist for Colorado State’s president’s job, and will likely leave after more than 24 years at the University.

According to CBS Denver, McConnell will become the school’s first female president and the 15th in the school’s history, pending approval from CSU’s board.

Statement from President E. Gordon Gee, via WVU Today:

A valuable member of our team, she leads with strategy and thoughtfulness — and produces results.”
