Incoming SIUE Chancellor Julie Furst-Bowe

The Provost of the University of Wisconsin Stout is Southern Illinois University Edwardsville's new Chancellor.

SIU President Glenn Poshard introduced Julie Furst-Bowe as  SIUE’s eighth Chancellor during a Thursday morning news conference at the Morris University Center Ballroom on the Edwardsville campus.  Furst-Bowe will take over for Vaughn Vandegrift who is retiring July 1st after eight years on the job.

Furst-Bowe was one of four finalists for the post.  Furst-Bowe is currently the Provost and Vice Chancellor for the University of Wisconsin Stout campus in Monomonie, WI.   UW Stout is a polytechnic school with an enrollment of a little more than 9,000 students.

The SIU Board of Trustees is expected to approve Furst-Bowe's appointment at its May meeting.
