WSU Pullman Chancellor Elizabeth Chilton to Depart for UNH Presidency

Elizabeth Chilton, currently the Provost, Executive Vice President, and Pullman Chancellor at Washington State University (WSU), has been named the next president of the University of New Hampshire (UNH). She will start her new position on July 1. At WSU, Chilton contributed significantly to the development of the university as a statewide system.

During her time at WSU, Chilton played a key role in defining the university's strategic direction and academic policies. In 2022, she also became the first chancellor of the WSU Pullman campus, as part of the OneWSU initiative, which aims to improve the university's operations and academic structure.

WSU System President Kirk Schulz commended Chilton for her nearly four years of service to the university. He wished her well in her new role at UNH.

Following Chilton's move, Schulz announced that he will work with university leadership to name an interim chancellor for the Pullman campus soon. The interim chancellor will work with the new provost and president to possibly revise the university's administrative structure.
