The chair of the University of Wyoming’s Department of History and American Studies has been named UW’s associate vice provost for global engagement.
Isadora Helfgott oversees UW’s Global Engagement Office, created as part of UW’s strategic plan, which calls for expanded recruitment of international students and greater engagement of faculty and students in international education. She has held the position as an interim appointee since last summer.
“Dr. Helfgott has demonstrated excellent leadership ability and vision in leading this office on an interim basis, and we’re excited that she will continue in this role without the ‘interim’ label,” Interim Provost Anne Alexander says.
