University of California, Davis, Chancellor Gary S. May announced that he has appointed two campus leaders to provide interim leadership for , or FOA, once Vice Chancellor Kelly Ratliff retires next month after 35 years with the university, and until the new FOA vice chancellor is in place.

Eric Kvigne will have interim responsibility for campus planning, design and construction management, facilities, safety services, the campus police and fire departments, and animal care.

“FOA is in a very stable place, thanks to Kelly’s solid stewardship, and the leadership team she put in place there is excellent,” May said. “I’m grateful to Christine and Eric for stepping into such crucial interim roles that impact how well the entire campus functions every day.”

Lovely is currently the chief human resources officer and has been with 51�ԹϺ��� Davis since 2018. Previously she served as vice president of human resources for California State University, Sacramento.

FOA comprises 1,500 employees in 13 departments. The division has played a key role in managing Healthy Davis Together, a partnership between 51�ԹϺ��� Davis, the city of Davis and Yolo County.
