The University of Toledo President Sharon L. Gaber has been elected chair of the Inter-University Council of Ohio.

“Dr. Gaber is uniquely qualified to bring strong leadership to the public university community during this critically important time in our state’s history,” IUC President Bruce Johnson said. “Her commitment to ensuring a high-quality, high-value education for all UToledo students is reflected by the level of excellence her institution has achieved under her leadership. President Gaber’s dedication of her personal time and energy, her ability to facilitate collaboration, and her passion for higher education, in general, will benefit all of Ohio’s public universities as she takes on this new role.”

The IUC was established in 1939 as a voluntary educational association of Ohio’s public universities. Today the association represents Ohio’s 14 public universities. Together, these institutions offer a broad range of associate, baccalaureate, graduate and professional programs. Gaber will begin her term as chair July 1.

“I am honored to be selected to chair the Inter-University Council of Ohio. This group works to promote collaboration among public universities and to enhance the quality of public higher education throughout the state,” Gaber said.

Joining Gaber on IUC’s Executive Committee will be University of Cincinnati President Neville Pinto, Ohio University President M. Duane Nellis and Miami University President Greg Crawford.
