Nevada state university regents have named the Honors College dean at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, as acting campus president.

The Nevada Board of Regents has appointed UNLV Honors College Dean Marta Meana, a longtime UNLV professor and award-winning psychology scholar, to serve as acting president of the university and replace departing President Len Jessup.

Marta Meana, a professor and administrator at UNLV since 1997, has been selected by Nevada System of Higher Education (NSHE) Board of Regents as the school's acting president until the completion of a national search.

A leader to the end.
