Congratulations to Dr. Kevin M. Guskiewicz, who has been named the 12th Chancellor of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

Before serving as interim chancellor, Kevin was dean of the College of Arts & Sciences, the largest academic institution at Carolina. There he championed the use of high-structure active learning techniques and increased experiential learning opportunities for Carolina students.
