Wright replaces Dr. Juan Carlos Molleda who is leaving to serve as the new Edwin L. Artzt dean of the School of Journalism and Communications at the University of Oregon. Molleda will work with Wright until June 30 to insure a smooth transition.

In addition to the interim position, Wright will continue to lead the Sports Journalism and Communications program. A formal search for a new chair will begin in the fall.
