Weber State welcomes Leslie Durham as interim president
OGDEN, Utah — The Utah Board of Higher Education appointed Leslie Durham as interim president of Weber State University. She will begin leading the university on Nov. 10.
“I am honored to serve as interim president of Weber State University during this transition,” said Durham. “Weber State is a remarkable institution, and I look forward to working closely with the students and campus community to ensure continuity, stability, and continued progress in the months ahead.”
Durham joined WSU in August as provost and senior vice president of Academic Affairs. She previously worked at Boise State University, where she most recently served as dean of the College of Arts and Science, and taught courses in theatre.
During her 25-year career in higher education, Durham has held various roles, including faculty member, school director, associate dean, and dean.
Her appointment follows current WSU President Brad Mortensen’s announcement that he accepted the position of president at his alma mater, Utah State University.
The Utah Board of Higher Education said it will be launching a search for WSU’s next president.
