Big leadership change at Queens University

Queens University of Charlotte just handed the reins to Jesse Cureton, a familiar face with deep roots in both the school and the Charlotte community. Cureton, who’s been a top exec at Novant Health and chair of the university’s board, is stepping in as acting president after Daniel Lugo’s recent departure. This move comes at a crucial time, with higher education shifting fast and the search for a permanent president underway. It’s a big moment for students, staff, and alumni—how do you feel about someone with strong local ties leading Queens through this transition? #Education #College #Charlotte
