Flavius R.W. Lilly, Ph.D., provost at McDaniel College, has been named the 22nd president of Muskingum University in Ohio, the Maryland college announced Monday. Lilly will assume the role July 1 and step down from his McDaniel post at the end of the spring semester.
Lilly has served as McDaniel’s chief academic officer for the past three years, overseeing undergraduate and graduate programs and helping launch new degrees in fields including early childhood education, nursing, speech-language pathology and occupational therapy.
