Transitions at UChicago

Colleges and Universities A-Z University of Chicago ✅

Lots of changes seem to be happening this year at UChicago. Of course, Zimmer has been replaced by Alivisatos this year, but also:

  • Andy Ward is the new investment officer
  • MaryFrances McCourt has been announced as the new Chief Financial Officer, joining from Penn in April
  • John Boyer has announced he’s stepping down, presumably to be replaced by a new Dean of the College from among the current faculty
  • David Axelrod has announced he’s stepping down next year, presumably to be replaced by a new Director of the Institute of Politics to be recruited from outside the university
  • Kenneth Polonsky is stepping down as Dean of the BSD and Pritzker and Executive Vice President for Biology and Medicine and President of the University of Chicago Health System

… so by next year, we’ll have not only a new president, but also a new investment officer, a new dean of the college, a new head of the IOP, a new head of the medical side of things. It seems like a complete fresh start for the university on so many different levels. Any thoughts on where all this is heading?
