DARTMOUTH – Mark Fuller, currently the University of Massachusetts Amherst’s vice chancellor for advancement and former dean of the university’s Isenberg School of Management, has been named the interim chancellor at the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth, the university announced Tuesday.
Fuller will assume the role that was held by Mark Preble, who temporarily led UMass Dartmouth following Robert E. Johnson’s resignation in September. Johnson was later named president of Western New England University. Preble will assist Fuller in the transition, UMass said, and Preble will still serve on UMass Dartmouth’s senior leadership team.
