UI’s New Provost

A lifelong engineer will switch between two of the nation's premier engineering institutions this spring. Linda Katehi (left) was tapped last month to be the next provost at the University of Illinois' Urbana campus. She leaves the dean of engineering post at Purdue University. Katehi is a native of Greece, and as she tells AM 580's Tom Rogers, she's excited about taking a top position in a school that excels in areas beyond engineering.
