CHAPEL HILL – After 11 years of dedicated service and commitment to the University and the state, Judith Cone, vice chancellor for innovation, entrepreneurship and economic development, will retire from Carolina in April. Judith told us last year of her plans to retire from Carolina in spring 2021.
Judith has built a talented team, and they will continue to advance the initiatives and programs that she inspired at Carolina. With the strong foundation that she has established, innovation and entrepreneurship will remain a top strategic priority for our University. We are pleased to announce that upon Judith’s departure, Associate Vice Chancellor Michelle Bolas will take on additional duties in innovation, entrepreneurship and economic development to provide continuity of leadership to this vital work. We will soon announce a plan for naming Judith’s successor.
