VINCENNES, Ind. (WTWO/WAWV) — Vincennes University will be making two key leadership changes for the upcoming school year, as Tim Eaton, Vice President of Financial Services and Chief Financial Officer, and Dr. Laura Treanor, Provost, Senior Vice President of Instructional Services and Dean of Faculty, will be leaving the university.
Tim Eaton leaving after 36 years:
Eaton will be retiring at the end of June and will be replaced by Conya Wampler, the current Assistant Vice President of Financial Services and Controller.
Eaton has been with the university since 1989 and “has been instrumental in securing critical state funding, including biennial capital and operating budget requests, and ensuring long-term financial health,” said Vincennes University.
“For nearly four decades, Tim Eaton has provided steady, insightful leadership at the helm of VU’s budgets and financial management, skillfully guiding the University through periods of economic uncertainty, demographic shifts, and changing public funding landscapes,” said Vincennes University President Dr. Chuck Johnson.
Travis Linneweber, currently Vincennes University’s Budget Director, will transition to replace Wampler as the university’s Assistant Vice President of Financial Services.
Dr. Laura Treanor leaving for new university:
Dr. Treanor will also be leaving the university, as she has been named the next President of Virginia Western Community College in Roanoke, Virginia.
Dr. Treanor joined Vincennes University in 2018, and since then has launched Leadership Lunch and Learn sessions, created the Trailblazer Teaching Academy and lead the American Council on Education Women’s Network Indiana.
“Few have matched the tireless dedication and transformative leadership of Dr. Laura Treanor. Her extraordinary impact over the past seven years has significantly advanced Vincennes University and will be felt for decades to come,” said Johnson.
Jaci Lederman will serve as Interim Provost, Vice President for Instructional Services and Dean of Faculty in Dr. Treanor’s absence.
“We will soon celebrate and bid farewell to two exceptional leaders whose dedicated service and countless contributions have significantly strengthened Vincennes University; fortunately, we are also blessed to have talented colleagues ready to step into new roles, ensuring continued stability and success through these transitions and into the future,” said Johnson.
