Jose “Zito” Sartarelli, Ph.D., a former pharmaceutical executive who now serves as chief global officer and dean of the College of Business and Economics at West Virginia University, was elected chancellor of the University of North Carolina at Wilmington by the Board of Governors of the 17-campus University of North Carolina. UNC President Tom Ross placed Sartarelli’s name in nomination April 10 during the board’s regular April meeting, held on the campus of East Carolina University in Greenville.
Sartarelli, 65, will assume his new duties July 1, succeeding Interim Chancellor William Sederburg, who has led the institution since Gary Miller stepped down last summer to become president of the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay.
