Greg Tewksbury has been appointed interim associate vice president for finance, pending approval by the Board of Regents. His appointment was effective Aug. 18.
Tewksbury assumed the interim position after Peggy Norgren, the associate vice president for finance since 2004, died unexpectedly in early August. He will continue in this role until completion of a national search for a new associate vice president for finance. Tewksbury currently is the U-M treasurer and has been employed at the University for more than 30 years in a number of other key financial functions, including financial analysis and financial operations.
“I’m very pleased that Greg has agreed to serve as the interim associate vice president for finance,” says Tim Slottow, executive vice president and chief financial officer. “His appointment will enable Finance to continue the direction and momentum set by Peggy to advance the financial operations of the University, improve the financial health of the institution and provide outstanding customer service to the campus community.”
Tewksbury received a bachelor’s degree in business administration from Western Michigan University, a master’s degree in business administration from Eastern Michigan University and is a certified treasury professional. While serving as interim associate vice president for finance, he will continue his role as treasurer at the University.
