A New Leader

Kay and I cannot wait to immerse ourselves in the New River Valley community and meet our new Highlander family!”

-Bret S. Danilowicz, Ph.D.

Radford University’s Board of Visitors announced the selection of the university’s eighth president in early December 2021. Bret S. Danilowicz, Ph.D., will assume the role in July 2022. He and his wife Kay visited campus for the announcement ceremony. Danilowicz joins the Highlander family after serving as the provost and vice president for academic affairs at Florida Atlantic University in Boca Raton since 2018. The rector of the Board of Visitors, Robert Archer, said, “He is a proven leader and possesses the background and experience required to take us to the next level and into the future.” The next Radford magazine will provide more insight into Danilowicz’s vision and first few months on campus.
