Dr. Sally Selden, President, University of Lynchburg
Selden, who grew up in Appomattox, Virginia, is a familiar face to many at the University of Lynchburg and in the local community. Before becoming provost at The Citadel, she spent 18 years at the University of Lynchburg.
During that time, she was a highly respected member of the faculty and served in several leadership roles — including director of the Master of Business Administration program, department chair of Management, faculty chair, director of the Master of Arts in Nonprofit Leadership Studies, and associate provost — before being named provost and vice president for Academic Affairs.
Selden also was actively engaged in the Lynchburg community, serving as president of two parent-teacher organizations and on numerous nonprofit boards, including the Lynchburg City Schools Education Foundation. In 2019, she was awarded the Humanitarian Award from the Virginia Center for Inclusive Communities.
She holds undergraduate and master’s degrees from the University of Virginia and a PhD from the University of Georgia.
An accomplished leader at The Citadel
At The Citadel, Selden has served as chief academic officer and leads the college’s strategic planning efforts. Her responsibilities have included managing academic programs and initiatives across the college’s five schools that reach more than 2,800 undergraduate and 1,000 graduate students and support more than 200 faculty.
She also chairs the college’s Fiscal Review Board that is responsible for a wide range of activities: strategic planning, assessment, accreditation, enrollment management, information technology, financial aid, veteran services, parent programs, library and archives, research centers, academic support, and student services.
