Davis spearheaded a massive reorganization of the university's academic units. That move, a resignation by the business dean and retirements of the library director and Honors College director prompted the hirings.
"We know that the new academic organization puts us in a stronger position as we manage the tremendous growth of quality programs here at Grand Valley," said Davis. "We have been successful in our search for the right person for each of these important positions, and we anticipate their steady leadership as we move Grand Valley forward."
