Dr. Robert L. Manuel of Georgetown University has been selected ...

In his other capacity as associate provost at Georgetown, Manuel works with the leadership
of the university’s Center for Social Justice, Research and Teaching; Diversity Action
Council; and the senior vice president for research/chief technical officer. He is a member
of the Main Campus Planning Committee, the Dean’s Council and the University Campaign
Council.
Manuel sits on the editorial advisory board for the Continuing Higher Education Review. He
is the 2012‐13 chair of the national conference for the University Professional & Continuing
Education Association, and was just appointed to a two‐year term on the UPCEA national
advisory board.
Before arriving at Georgetown, Manuel served in the office of the Vice President for
Enrollment Services at NYU, and also held the positions of chief information officer,
assistant dean and clinical associate professor at NYU's School of Continuing and
Professional Studies.
“UIndy has grown remarkably in academic quality, programs, enrollments and impact
under the leadership of Beverley Pitts and her predecessors,” Manuel said. “I am honored
to join the UIndy community, and excited to work with the faculty, students and staff to
address the challenges of our day. In the face of shrinking job markets and rising costs,
higher education today is under intense pressure to define its relevance. Because of the
groundwork that has already been laid, I believe UIndy is well positioned to lead the higher
education community as we demonstrate our value to the larger society.”
Manuel received a bachelor’s degree in history and political science from Allegheny College,
a master’s degree in higher education administration from Syracuse University, and a
doctorate in higher education administration from NYU. He and his wife, Wilmara, have
three daughters, Sophia, 11; Alexandra, 8; and Margaux, 5.
