TOLEDO, Ohio — The University of Toledo Board of Trustees has unanimously voted for Dr. Gregory Postel to be appointed as the Special Advisor to the Board of Trustees effective Wednesday.
Postel will also become the Interim President after President Sharon Gaber leaves from the university.
Gaber announced she was leaving the University of Toledo back in April this year to pursue a career as the chancellor at UNC Charlotte.
“Our priority was to hire an interim president with proven leadership ability, demonstrated financial acumen, and experience in all facets of university operations, including medical education and clinical operations, to lead our University after Dr. Gaber’s departure,” UToledo Board of Trustees Chair Mary Ellen Pisanelli said. “The wealth of experience Dr. Postel brings to the University will be invaluable as we continue to build our national reputation and grow our academic mission of service while addressing the immediate and ongoing fiscal challenges that universities and hospitals across the nation are confronting.”
While Gaber is still president, Postel will serve as an Advisor.
UT plans to launch a national search for its 18th president in the coming month.
