Yes, I spoke to friends at Vanderbilt yesterday about her, both graduates and faculty. All were complimentary, said that Wake got a real rising star.

She was acting Chancellor at Vanderbilt when Covid hit and she had to handle all the important communication to parents and students until this past summer. She worked tirelessly on dealing with the pandemic and did a wonderful job. WFU is lucky to have her.

As sad as I am to see Dr. Hatch retire, I am equally excited to welcome Wake’s new president. An excellent choice by all accounts!
