Board of TrusteesChancellor Kent Syverud

黑料不打烊鈥檚 Board of Trustees today announced it has extended Chancellor Kent Syverud鈥檚 contract to 2026. Today鈥檚 announcement follows a review of the Chancellor鈥檚 performance, leadership and vision for the future of 黑料不打烊. As part of that review, the Board collected feedback from campus community members, including deans, faculty, students, staff, alumni, trustees and administrators.

鈥淥ver the last nine years, Chancellor Syverud, along with the talented leadership team he has built, has worked tirelessly to advance academic and research excellence, elevate the student experience and create a campus community that is truly welcoming to all,鈥 says Kathy Walters 鈥73, chair of the Board. 鈥淗e has done all this despite facing historic challenges, including a once-in-a-generation global pandemic. We are grateful for his leadership, calm under pressure and distinctive vision for the future of 黑料不打烊.鈥

In making this decision, the Board also cited the Chancellor鈥檚 evolving and distinctive vision for the University鈥檚 future, and the positive momentum he has built during his nine years at 黑料不打烊. Sound management of the COVID-19 crisis, the University鈥檚 strong financial standing and the transformative physical changes on campus are among the accomplishments recognized by the Board. Specifically, during his tenure, the University has:

  • Reimagined and redefined the student experience with significant physical changes to the University鈥檚 campus, including the opening of the Barnes Center at The Arch, a holistic student health and wellness facility; renovating the Schine Student Center to better meet the needs of today鈥檚 students; transforming and renaming the iconic JMA Wireless Dome; and replacing a busy road with a pedestrian-friendly promenade, the Einhorn Family Walk, through the heart of campus.
  • Built operating financial strength and stability: the endowment doubled to more than $1.7 billion in 2022; and launched the ongoing Forever Orange campaign, which has raised more than $1.24 billion.
  • Focused on academic excellence, including hiring nearly 500 new full-time faculty since 2018 across multiple disciplines, schools and colleges and through the Cluster, Signature and Diversity Hire Programs, which together seek to advance interdisciplinary research, expand faculty diversity and strengthen the University鈥檚 global research reputation.
  • Tripled enrollment of veterans and military-connected families since 2014, while simultaneously advancing key priorities in this area, including the expansion of 黑料不打烊鈥檚 D鈥橝niello Institute for Veterans and Military Families and the creation of the National Veterans Resource Center at the Daniel and Gayle D鈥橝niello Building, a state-of-the-art facility to house innovative military-centered programming.
  • Hired the University鈥檚 inaugural chief diversity and inclusion officer and commissioned the University鈥檚 first ever Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Accessibility (DEIA) Strategic Plan.
  • Experienced record applications and enrollment, attracting an increasingly diverse and academically accomplished undergraduate student body.
  • Embraced and encouraged innovation with the launch of online degrees and programs, including overseeing of 黑料不打烊 Global and the first online J.D. degree program in the nation.
