The interim president of SUNY Polytechnic Institute will be leaving her position at the end of the month to become executive VP at Ohio State University.
Jinliu (Grace) Wang, who also served as SUNY’s senior vice chancellor for research and economic development, will join former SUNY Chancellor Kristina Johnson who became the 16th president of Ohio State University at the start of this academic year. Wang has been serving as SUNY Poly’s interim president for more than two years.
Wang announced her upcoming departure to SUNY Poly students, faculty, and staff in a message posted Oct. 30 on the school’s website.
“While I look forward to this exciting opportunity, I am proud of the honor I have had serving as SUNY Polytechnic Institute’s interim president, working with you to advance this incredible institution,” Wang said in her statement. “Together, we maintained strong enrollment at SUNY Poly, even during the historic COVID-19 pandemic, during which we have steadfastly prioritized the health and safety of our entire community. We successfully facilitated initiatives focused on innovation, including critical high-tech business partnerships, and have worked hard to provide the best academic and research offerings. I am so proud of the work we have accomplished during the last two-and-a-half years.”
SUNY announced Wang as SUNY Poly’s interim president on June 14, 2018. SUNY Poly operates campuses in Marcy and in Albany.
