We are pleased to announce that a national search for the Assistant Vice Chancellor, UIC Extended Campus is now underway. The search committee is being chaired by Bo Fernhall, Dean of the College of Applied Health Sciences.

The Assistant Vice Chancellor will provide administrative leadership and oversight for UIC Extended Campus (UIC EC) and report dually to the Provost and to the Vice Chancellor for Innovation, while administratively being part of the Vice Chancellor for Innovation’s leadership team that will develop and implement strategies to enhance UIC’s position as an innovative and entrepreneurial university.
