August 21, 2009

Jean Wactawski-Wende, professor and associate chair of the Department of Social and Preventive Medicine, School of Public Health and Health Professions, and adjunct professor in the Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics, School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences, has been appointed UB’s vice provost for strategic initiatives.

She will assume the position in September, replacing Alexander Cartwright, who was named to two new leadership roles: chair of the Department of Electrical Engineering and inaugural chair of the new Department of Biomedical Engineering.

In her position as vice provost for strategic initiatives, Wactawski-Wende will work with the UB 2020 leadership teams to help the university reach its strategic goals set for the next decade, and will facilitate creation of cross-discipline initiatives critical to reaching those goals.
