Dear Fairfield University Community,
I am pleased to announce the appointment of Lynn M. Babington, PhD, RN, currently University Provost and Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs, as Interim President of Fairfield University. The appointment is effective January 1st, 2017 and will be in place through June 2017.
Since her arrival at Fairfield University, Lynn has been instrumental both in her role as Provost and Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs, and in her continued support of innovation and institutional transformation. I, along with the Board of Trustees, have the utmost confidence in Lynn and her ability to lead the University at this critically important time.
Lynn's experience and tenure in higher education make her uniquely qualified for this role. She has served as Provost and Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs at Fairfield since 2014. Prior to her role as Senior Vice President, she served as Dean of the School of Nursing since 2012 and also holds an appointment as Professor of Nursing. Prior to joining Fairfield University, Lynn was Associate Professor, Assistant Dean of Graduate Programs, and Director of the Doctorate of Nursing Practice program at Northeastern University's School of Nursing. She has been the recipient of several honors and distinctions, including the Robert Wood Johnson Executive Nurse Fellowship, a Fulbright Scholarship and multiple awards for excellence in teaching and the use of technology, and is widely respected and called upon for her expertise as a nursing educator and academic leader. Lynn holds a B.S.N. from the University of Michigan and an M.N. and PhD from the University of Washington.
Please join me in congratulating Lynn on her new appointment.
Sincerely,
Jeffrey P. von Arx, SJ
