“It is important to have someone with both vast knowledge of Ohio University and genuine affection for our students serve as our Interim Vice President. By this standard, Jenny Hall-Jones is highly qualified to oversee the safety, well-being, and success of students in our Bobcat community,” McDavis said.

Hall-Jones has been an administrator for Ohio University for 19 years. “We are very fortunate to have her high level of Bobcat experience and strong leadership to help ease the transition when Dr. Ryan Lombardi departs,” said McDavis. “I am in the process of appointing members to the Search Committee for our new Vice President for Student Affairs. The Search Committee will be chaired by Dr. Pam Benoit, Executive Vice President and Provost. More information will be shared once the search process has commenced.”
