UAB has named Eva Lewis as vice provost for Institutional Effectiveness and Academic Planning following a national search.

Lewis came to UAB from the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga where she was the assistant provost for Strategy and executive director for the Office of Planning, Evaluation and Institutional Research and the liaison for the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges.

In her role, Lewis will provide the Institutional Effectiveness and Academic Planning team direction and context critical for developing the necessary support to implement UAB's strategic plan, "Forging the Future."

Lewis earned her bachelor's degree from Lipscomb University and her master's in business administration from the Vanderbilt University Owen Graduate School of Management. She is enrolled in the learning and leadership doctorate program at UTC, where she is finishing her dissertation.
