Clark University in Worcester has named Sebastián Royo as its next provost and vice president of academic affairs, effective July 1, the school announced on Wednesday.
Royo is vice president of international affairs and a professor of political science at Suffolk University in Boston, where he has worked for 23 years. He will succeed Davis Baird, who is retiring from Clark after serving in the role since 2010.
“This is a mission-critical position, particularly at this time when we are setting our course for our future as a university, and we could not have found a more perfect fit — both for carrying out the responsibilities of the provost and seizing the unlimited opportunity that lies ahead,” said Clark President David Fithian, in a statement.
Royo holds a law degree from Universidad Autónoma de Madrid, as well as a master of arts in international relations, a master of business administration and a Ph.D. in political science from Boston University.
In addition to serving as provost, Royo will hold a tenured position as a professor in the school’s political science department.
