Professor Gregory B. Fairchild will be the first director of Northern Virginia operations for the University of Virginia.
Fairchild, the Isidore Horween Research Associate Professor of Business Administration at U.Va.’s Darden School of Business, will oversee the university’s programs and facilities in the metropolitan Washington, D.C., area, including those currently offered by Darden, the McIntire School of Commerce and the School of Continuing and Professional Studies and others.
“I have spent the last three years working on the launch of Darden programs in the area,” Fairchild said in a statement. “My excitement at being part of the larger portfolio of U.Va.’s efforts in Northern Virginia is without parallel, and my early conversations with partners across Grounds have only strengthened my sense of the possibilities.”
