The Texas A&M University System’s Board of Regents named Tomikia P. LeGrande the ninth President of Prairie View A&M University following a nationwide search. Dr. LeGrande, who was previously Vice President for Strategy, Enrollment Management and Student Success at Virginia Commonwealth University, will assume her duties at Prairie View A&M at the end of the 2022-23 school year. She succeeds Dr. Ruth Simmons, who will become President Emerita and will hold a faculty appointment as University Professor.
“Dr. LeGrande will provide great leadership for the Panthers for many years to come,” said Chancellor Sharp. “Her experience and leadership in enrollment management and student success is exactly what PVAMU needs at this juncture to build on the great work Ruth Simmons has provided these past five years. I’m excited by where PVAMU is headed.”
“I want to thank Chancellor Sharp and the Board of Regents for the opportunity to serve as President of Prairie View A&M University,” LeGrande said. “PVAMU has a strong legacy of transforming the lives of its students and contributing to the surrounding region and state of Texas, both educationally and economically. I look forward to working with the faculty, staff, and community as we honor and build upon the university’s powerful legacy and upward trajectory.”
WittKieffer’s Ryan Crawford, Christine Pendleton and Darrien Davenport led this search.
