Experts in higher education administration said GW could shake up its financial priorities with greater investment in facilities and research under Granberg.
Officials will introduce the 19th president of GW at a public event Wednesday in the Jack Morton Auditorium, according to an email from Board of Trustees Chair Grace Speights.
Ellen Granberg – the first woman to serve as GW’s president – will take over the helm of GW from Interim University President Mark Wrighton and will begin her term on July 1.
Officials provided updates on the searches for top administrative positions that they expect to fill by the fall during a Faculty Senate meeting Friday.
