<p>Just got this email from UK. Is anyone familiar with Dr. Capilouto? He seams to be the overwhelming choice of the Board of Trustees.</p>
<p>Eli Capilouto, 61, joined the faculty at UAB in 1975 as an instructor in dentistry. He earned a doctorate from Harvard and returned to UAB to become the dean of the School of Public Health from 1994 to 2001. He was acting provost in 2001, and was named provost in 2005.</p>
<p>As provost, he oversees a university with 11 schools and colleges, 17,543 students and $460 million in annual external research.</p>
<p>A Montogmery, Ala., native, Capilouto graduated from the University of Alabama in 1971. He received a doctorate in dentistry and masters in public health from UAB and a doctorate in health policy and management from the Harvard University School of Public Health.</p>
