Grewal is an entomologist with over 25 years of experience in higher education. Currently, he is special assistant to the president at the University of Texas (UT) Rio Grande Valley, a school created nine years ago through a merger of UT Brownsville and UT Pan American.

This gives Grewal the unique experience of leading merged institutions, a useful skill for his new role at Vermont State University, created through the unification of three Vermont State Colleges (VSC): Castleton University, Northern Vermont University, and Vermont Technical College.

“I look forward to collaborating to build our new university as a national model for a state-wide, community-engaged, hybrid university that transforms lives and communities across the state,” Grewal said. “I see this as an incredible opportunity to build a model, post-COVID university in the United States.”
