C. Cybele Raver was named the University of Michigan’s 17th president on Tuesday, with the Board of Regents set to take a formal vote on Sept. 1 and her term slated to begin Dec. 1.
Raver arrives from Vanderbilt, where she has served as provost since 2021 and helped push annual research spending past $1 billion while expanding the university’s academic presence beyond Nashville.
Domenico Grasso will remain interim president through Nov. 30 and work with Raver on the transition to Ann Arbor.
The appointment follows Kent Syverud’s exit just three months after he was named Michigan’s 16th president in January, after a brain cancer diagnosis forced him to step down.
