    LOUISVILLE, Ky. – The University of Louisville has hired M. Rehan Khan as its new vice provost and chief information officer.

    Khan comes to UofL from Massachusetts, where he worked as a technology adviser with a specialty in higher education for a large technology firm.

I am ready to work with faculty, students, staff and university leadership to further our mission and strengthen the university reputation and impact in the state, region and nation.”

    Khan has a bachelor’s degree in management from the University of Massachusetts and an MBA from Rivier University.
