Carol Christ, who joined the UC Berkeley faculty in 1970 as an assistant professor of Victorian literature, was confirmed today by the UC Board of Regents as the campus’s 11th chancellor. A popular, highly regarded administrator and scholar, she will be the first female chancellor in Berkeley’s 149-year history.

UC President Janet Napolitano, announcing Christ’s appointment earlier in the week, lauded her “exceptional leadership and strategic planning skills, her deep commitment to the university’s core values, her many academic and professional accomplishments, as well as her deep knowledge of, and affection for, UC Berkeley.”

The regents ratified the choice by a unanimous vote this morning at their meeting at UCSF Mission Bay.
