President-Designate</font></div>
<div><font size="2" face="Arial"> </font></div><font size="2" face="Arial"></font>
<div><font size="2" face="Arial">Effective August 1, 2011, Dr. Meredith Hay will
serve as Special Advisor to ABOR Chair for Strategic Initiatives working
directly for Chair Fred DuVal. With this change, I have asked Dr.
Jacqueline Lee Mok to serve as Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs and
Provost, while continuing her important work as our liaison with the Regents and
the Board Office in her capacity as Senior Vice President and Chief of
Staff. Dr. Mok will carry out her responsibilities as Provost until a
national search can identify a suitable replacement, at which time she will
return to her assignment in the Office of the President.</font></div>
<div><font size="2" face="Arial"></font> </div>
<div><font size="2" face="Arial">Dr. Mok will work in close collaboration with Vice
Provost for Academic Affairs, Dr. Gail D. Burd. Dr. Burd’s own high level
of expertise regarding our academic enterprise will be a critical leadership
component as we advance the University.</font></div>
<div><font size="2" face="Arial"></font> </div>
<div><font size="2" face="Arial">I believe that taking into consideration the
overall experience and the tremendous strength of our academic and
administrative leaders throughout the University, these changes will enable me
to accomplish my principal goal of making the University of Arizona attractive
to an exceptional new president.</font></div>
