Growing university system includes TCU and UNTHSC School of Medicine
Lesa Roe, a leader at NASA, has been selected as the next chancellor for the University of North Texas System.
Roe, acting deputy administrator for NASA, is set to become the system’s third chancellor and the first woman to ever hold the position with the UNT System. She would replace Lee Jackson, who announced his retirement in March.
Roe was introduced Thursday as the sole finalist for the job during the university system’s board of regents meeting in Fort Worth.
