Stephanie Graham, the new general counsel at Northwestern University, sees her post not as a job but as a calling at the school she has served for 26 years.
Northwestern president Morton Schapiro on Tuesday named Graham, who was serving as interim GC during a national search, to the post of vice president and general counsel, effective as of June 17.
“Stephanie Graham has everything that a major research university would want in a general counsel,” Schapiro said in a statement. “She has a deep and broad understanding of the higher education landscape, a firm grasp of the complex legal and ethical issues that universities face in this era, and the highest level of personal and professional integrity.”
