The Executive Director of the University of Iowa’s Center for Diversity and Enrichment has announced she has accepted a new position at the University of New Hampshire.

Nadine Petty is to start at UNH on August 10th.

The Daily Iowan reports that alongside Associate Provost and Dean of International Programs Russ Ganim, Petty was co-chair of a UI committee tasked with finding a replacement for TaJuan Wilson, who resigned in August after a two-month stint as the associate vice president for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion.

Petty tells the paper that she doesn’t believe her departure will cause any major roadblock in the university’s initiative to be more inclusive.

Her job at UNH will allow her to be closer to family on the east coast, which she told the DI was a major factor in accepting the position.

Petty has been at the UI for five years.
