UConn’s School of Fine Arts Dean Anne D’Alleva has been named as the university’s interim provost and executive vice president for academic affairs, the school announced.
D’Alleva, who has served as fine arts dean since 2015, begins in her new post Friday. She replaces Carl Lejuez, who is set to become the executive vice president and provost at Stony Brook University in New York.
D’Alleva joined UConn in 1999 and will stay on as interim provost until a permanent provost is named later this year, according to Interim President Radenka Maric.
