Columbia University has officially selected Jennifer L. Mnookin, the Chancellor of the University of Wisconsin-Madison, as its next president. This transition marks a significant leadership change as Mnookin is set to leave her position at UW-Madison to lead Columbia University, making her the fourth president in two years. The appointment has been met with praise from UW-Madison President Jay Rothman, who acknowledged her contributions to the university. Mnookin will assume her new role following the upcoming spring commencement, signaling a noteworthy shift in leadership for both institutions.
