The special appointment was announced Aug. 27 by Katherine Ankerson, executive vice chancellor, and is effective Sept. 3, pending approval by the University of Nebraska Board of Regents.
“Monique has served in higher education leadership for nearly three decades and brings strong expertise in advancing the strategic assessment, implementation, and utilization of technology and analytics to improve and sustain higher education operational and enrollment success,” said Ankerson.
“She will work to continue the great momentum we have within ASEM and help us prepare to attract a diverse and talented pool of candidates when we begin our national search to fill this position permanently.”
