Dr. Virginia Schaefer Horvath has been appointed by the Board of Trustees of the State University of New York (SUNY) as the 13th president of SUNY Fredonia.
Dr. Horvath is currently the Vice President for Academic Affairs at SUNY Fredonia, a position she has held since joining the campus in 2005. She was recommended out of a pool of more than 50 candidates and five finalists by a 15-member search committee and SUNY Chancellor Nancy Zimpher. She was officially appointed by the SUNY Board of Trustees at a board meeting held earlier this week, and will begin serving as president on July 1. In doing so, she will become the first female president in the Fredonia campus’ 186-year history.
