The University of Michigan is set to welcome C. Cybele Raver as its 17th president. This significant appointment is awaiting a formal vote by the Board of Regents, scheduled for September 1.
Raver, who currently holds the position of provost and vice chancellor for academic affairs at Vanderbilt University, is slated to commence her duties on December 1. She brings a wealth of experience from her previous administrative and faculty roles.
Raver stated, "It is an extraordinary honor to be considered as the University of Michigan's 17th president at this pivotal moment in higher education." She expressed her eagerness to contribute to the university's impactful legacy.
The search for a new president was reopened after the original president-elect, Kent Syverud, stepped down in April due to health concerns. Domenico Grasso will continue to serve as the interim president until Raver's official start.
