Jeff Capadona, professor of biomedical engineering, and Kathleen Horvath, professor of music, have been named the associate provosts for graduate education and academic affairs, respectively.
The two new associate provost positions were created to provide leadership and guidance at a time when the university is advancing efforts to better the student experience at all levels.
As associate provost for academic affairs, Horvath will provide leadership in focused initiatives carried out by the Office of the Provost, such as institutional accreditation. Another initiative she will take on is to explore the student experience at Case Western Reserve as it relates to rates of persistence toward degree completion.
