“Chancellor France A. Córdova was appointed president of Indiana’s Purdue University today Monday, May 7 by the Purdue board of trustees.

Córdova is UCR’s seventh chancellor and started work in Riverside in July 2002. She will stay in Riverside until at least July 1. She said her experience at UCR has prepared her well for her new challenges at Purdue, a public university system founded in 1869, which has five campuses and numerous teaching and research sites. Córdova will have responsibility over the entire system, which includes 69,000 students. She will have direct oversight for the main campus in West Lafayette, Ind. That campus has approximately 39,000 students and is a member of the Association of American Universities, which includes the top 62 research universities in North America.”
