Message from the President
May 19, 2020
Dear Colleagues:
Dr. Patricia McHatton has decided to step down from her position as Executive Vice President for Academic Affairs and P-16 Integration for personal reasons, effective June 1, 2020. For the interim, all areas in this division will be managed through the President’s office, with Dr. Janna Arney, Deputy President, having direct oversight throughout this transition. As we work through the transition, further information will be provided.
We owe Dr. McHatton a tremendous debt of gratitude for the service and leadership she has provided during her time at UTRGV. She joined UTRGV in 2015 as the inaugural dean of the College of Education and P-16 Integration, and in July 2017, she was appointed interim vice president for Academic Affairs. She has held her current position since February 2018.
"It has been my utmost pleasure to serve the students, faculty, and staff at UTRGV," McHatton said. "I am honored to have had the opportunity to do so."
Sincerely,
Guy Bailey
President
