Female Presidents: Meet the Women Leading Utah’s High Education Institutions

Three of Utah’s higher education institutions have named new presidents this year. And while new leaders always usher in changes, there’s been one big change that the three institutions have in common: Utah Valley University, the University of Utah, and Westminster College named women to lead their institutions. They join the female presidents of Utah State University and Salt Lake Community College to make a group of five female higher education presidents in Utah. It’s an unprecedented leadership change in a state that has dire executive-level gender diversity. Here, we profile four presidents who are proudly leading their higher education institutions.
