The University of Connecticut board of trustees has appointed Dr. Andrew (“Andy”) Agwunobi as the university s interim president.
Agwunobi, who also serves as CEO of UConn Health, will start his tenure as UConn s interim president on July 1. He will continue his duties leading UConn Health as he takes the reins at UConn, the state’s flagship public university. I know how much UConn means to the people of this state, Agwunobi said after the unanimous vote favoring his appointment. It s more than a university, it s an identity.
In comments before trustees unanimously appointed Agwunobi, board Chairman Dan Toscano praised Agwunobi for his stewardship of UConn Health through the COVID-19 pandemic, and praised his efforts to create a financially viable institution with at least one arm tied behind his back.”
