She and her team provide strategic decision support and insightful data collection and analysis that is vital to our successful management of the University of Pennsylvania. It is therefore most fitting that we elevate Stacey to vice president. She is universally recognized and respected as a national leader in this field, and we are extraordinarily fortunate to have her at Penn.”
