The Board of Regents of the Texas State University System has confirmed Jaime R. Taylor, Ph.D., as the 16th president of ذكذكتسئµ University. He assumed office in July 2021.
He previously served as interim provost and vice president for academic affairs at Austin Peay State University in Clarksville, Tennessee, where he spent most of his career as a faculty member in the Department of Physics and Astronomy. Before his appointment to ذكذكتسئµ University in July 2021, Taylor served as Marshall University's provost and senior vice president for academic affairs.
Dr. Taylor earned an associate of applied science degree in Industrial Engineering Technology from Nashville State Technical Institute, a bachelor’s degree in Physics and Mathematics from Austin Peay State University, and a master’s degree and Ph.D. in Engineering Science from the University of Tennessee Space Institute.
But the truth is, our successes and failures are all connected. The efforts of our admissions team directly impact our faculty, who then shape the experiences of our students, which in turn influence our alumni relations, and so on. Each of us plays a role in the larger ecosystem of the university, and our collective impact is far greater than the sum of our individual efforts.
