Interim President Lori Gonzalez optimistic about U of L’s future

By Madelin Shelton —

At the conclusion of the Spring semester, Interim President Lori Stewart Gonzalez spoke with The Louisville Cardinal about her role so far and where she would like to see U of L go during her tenure.

Gonzalez came to U of L in April 2021 as the new executive vice president and university provost. Following the departure of former U of L President Neeli Bendapudi in December 2021, Gonzalez was appointed by the Board of Trustees as the acting interim university president.

Gonzalez says the biggest challenge for U of L is the numerous transitions the university has endured over the last decade.
