Towson University President Kim Schatzel was selected Wednesday as the next president of the University of Louisville, where she'll bring an extensive record as a university administrator.

UofL trustees voted unanimously to appoint Schatzel, who will become the Kentucky school's 19th president. Her selection ends a nearly yearlong search for a successor to former UofL President Neeli Bendapudi, who took the top job at Penn State University.

"I am incredibly honored to be chosen to lead such a remarkable institution and look forward to working together with our campus and community partners to advance UofL’s reputation as a preeminent institution nationally recognized for its excellence in research and scholarly work, education, inclusive student success, innovation, the arts and athletics," Schatzel said.
