RSVP today for the Joint Meeting with Minneapolis #9. We’ll meet at our usual time (Tuesday, Noon), but at the historic Minneapolis Club for our annual networking meeting with Minneapolis Rotary Club 9. Guests are welcome!
Speaker
Our speaker will be Joan T.A. Gabel, the 17th President of the University of Minnesota and the first woman in the University's 167-year history to hold its highest office.
Gabel came to the U of M from the University of South Carolina where she had been the executive vice president for academic affairs and provost. Before becoming South Carolina’s chief academic officer, Gabel had served as dean of the University of Missouri’s Trulaske College of Business for five years. Earlier positions at Florida State University and Georgia State University included Gabel holding distinguished chairs, serving as department director and earning accolades as a faculty member. She also was editor in chief of the American Business Law Journal. Before her work in higher education, Gabel was an attorney. She earned her bachelor’s degree in philosophy from Haverford College (Pa.) and her Juris Doctor from the University of Georgia.
