OHIO Associate Vice President for University Planning tapped for leadership role at University of New Mexico

Shawna Wolfe, who serves as Associate Vice President for University Planning, has been selected by the University of New Mexico as its new Vice President for Institutional Support Services. With Wolfe’s planned departure, Ohio University will reassess the University Planning role over the next few weeks and share future plans as they are developed.

In her 18 years at Ohio University, Wolfe has been a key leader in transformational University planning efforts, including the Ridges Framework Plan that led the University to its current Ridges Development Plan, the 2016 Campus Master Plan, two Housing Master Plans for the Athens Campus, the Dublin Campus Framework Plan and more. She also developed and executed a comprehensive multi-year capital planning strategy and facilitated community engagement activities to garner input and support for major capital initiatives at the University.

“Shawna’s impact can be seen across our University system, and it will last far beyond her years of service here at OHIO,” said Mark Heil, Vice President for Finance and Administration and CFO. “We are truly thankful for all she has done not only in crafting a vision for our University footprint but also in ensuring stakeholders in the communities we serve had a voice in the process.”

As Vice President for Institutional Support Services at UNM, Wolfe will lead Campus Environments and Facilities and Campus Business Services, comprising approximately 600 staff and more than 200 student employees.

Wolfe’s last day at OHIO will be Nov. 16. Questions about new or ongoing University Planning projects should be directed to Vice President Heil after that date.
