Officially introducing the 30th president of The University of Alabama - Peter J. Mohler, PhD!

A distinguished leader with over 20 years of experience in higher education, Dr. Mohler currently serves as executive vice president for Research, Innovation and Knowledge at Ohio State University and chief scientific officer of OSU’s Wexner Medical Center. His current role is dedicated to growing high-impact academics, research, scholarship and entrepreneurship across the enterprise, as well as building strategic partnerships with government and industry leaders to foster innovation and fuel economic and workforce development. He also served as the university’s acting president in 2023, successfully leading one of the largest public flagships in the nation.

“It is a tremendous honor to be named the next president of The University of Alabama, and I am deeply grateful to the University of Alabama System Board of Trustees for the opportunity to serve this institution and further its tradition of excellence. UA stands as a national leader in higher education, and I look forward to working collaboratively across campus, the UA System and the state to expand our impact and build on the University’s remarkable momentum.” – Dr. Mohler.

As referenced in President Stuart R. Bell’s Reaffirmation of Equal Opportunity and Nondiscrimination Policy Statement, the University is required to track the number of individuals with disabilities and/or protected veterans that are employed at UA. The University invites employees who fall into one or both categories to confidentially identify themselves by completing the Disability Self-Identification Form and/or the Veteran Self-Identification Form that can be found on the Employee tab under Employee Services on myBama. Employees who have previously submitted this information do not have to submit it again, unless your status has changed.
