The UT System Board of Regents named Jennifer Evans-Cowley, Ph.D., provost and vice president of academic affairs at the University of North Texas, as the sole finalist for the president of UT Arlington.
Regents voted unanimously Friday, Jan. 7 to select Cowley, who “has risen through the ranks of academia over the past 20 years and has held numerous positions at the academic program, college and university levels,” the UT System said in a news release.Earlier this week, Teik C. Lim, who had served as UTA interim president for almost two years, was named the new president of the New Jersey Institute of Technology.
“Dr. Cowley is an accomplished leader in academia, research and industry partnerships, and her experiences align well with UT Arlington’s mission and growth aspirations,” Regents Chairman Kevin P. Eltife said. “Throughout her career, she has remained focused on student success, faculty collaborations, and external partnerships—all essential elements needed to advance a top public research university.
Cowley’s candidacy was recommended to regents by a presidential search advisory committee, led by Chancellor James B. Milliken, and was composed of representation from the UT Arlington faculty, students, alumni, community leaders, UT presidents and regents.
