MINNEAPOLIS, Nov. 18,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Rasmussen University is pleased
to announce the appointment of Dr. Carrie
Daninhirsch as Provost, a role in which she will lead all
eight areas of study within the University and its central academic
teams. With this appointment, President Paula Singer will transition to focus solely on
her role as President, no longer serving in the dual capacity of
President and Chief Academic Officer. Dr. Daninhirsch, an
established leader within Rasmussen University, brings nearly two
decades of higher education experience and a commitment to
advancing academic excellence, student success, and innovative
teaching practices.
"I am delighted to share that Dr. Carrie

unwavering commitment to positive change within our academic teams
make her the ideal choice for this role. Her extensive experience,
strategic vision, and deep dedication to our faculty and students
ensure that we are well-positioned to continue advancing our
mission. I look forward to continuing to work alongside her as we
strengthen and expand Rasmussen University's impact."
Dr. Daninhirsch joined Rasmussen University in April 2006 and has since held numerous leadership
roles, including Online Dean, Dean of Students, Vice President of
Learning and Teaching, and most recently Associate Chief Academic
Officer of Academic and Student Affairs. As Provost, she will
provide leadership, vision, and advocacy for academic and student
affairs, reinforcing Rasmussen's commitment to a student-centered
learning environment. Her focus on academic quality, innovative
teaching methods, and student outcomes reflects her dedication to
fostering an inclusive environment that promotes integrity,
engagement, and success.
"Rasmussen University has been my professional home for nearly
two decades, and I am honored to take on this role," said Dr.
Daninhirsch. "In collaboration with our faculty, staff, and
students, I am committed to advancing a culture that prioritizes
academic excellence and student support, preparing our students to
thrive in their careers and positively impact their
communities."
Dr. Daninhirsch holds an Ed.D. in Leadership and Higher
Education from the American College of Education, a master's degree
in counseling psychology from Lesley University, and an
undergraduate degree in psychology from Northeastern University. Her academic credentials,
coupled with her extensive leadership experience, position her as a
key advocate for faculty and students alike.
With Dr. Daninhirsch as Provost, Rasmussen University is poised
to further its mission of providing high-quality, career-focused
education that meets the evolving needs of students and communities
