While the University of Virginia community continues to contend with the forced resignation of President Jim Ryan by the United States Department of Justice, a key position in the administration has been filled.
According to UVA Today, Lois Stanley has been named as the next senior vice president for operations. Stanley will begin work on August 18 after serving for six years as the vice president for campus planning and operations. A Virginia native, Stanley has also worked in management positions at Tufts University and Harvard University.
“With over two decades of proven experience in higher education, we are both thrilled and fortunate to welcome Lois to UVA,” said Jennifer “J.J.” Wagner Davis, the executive vice president and chief operating officer who will also become acting president after tomorrow when Ryan’s resignation takes effect.
Stanley will succeed Colette Sheehy in the position. Sheehy announced her retirement from UVA last November. She’ll oversee a range of functions ranging from the Office of the Architect to UVA Mail services.
