Leadership changes at Vincennes University
VINCENNES, Ind. (WTWO/WAWV) — Vincennes University will be making two key leadership changes for the upcoming school year, as Tim Eaton, Vice President of Financial Services and Chief Financial Officer, and Dr. Laura Treanor, Provost, Senior Vice President of Instructional Services and Dean of Faculty, will be leaving the university.
Eaton will be retiring at the end of June and will be replaced by Conya Wampler, the current Assistant Vice President of Financial Services and Controller.
Eaton has been with the university since 1989 and 'has been instrumental in securing critical state funding, including biennial capital and operating budget requests, and ensuring long-term financial health,' said Vincennes University.
'For nearly four decades, Tim Eaton has provided steady, insightful leadership at the helm of VU's budgets and financial management, skillfully guiding the University through periods of economic uncertainty, demographic shifts, and changing public funding landscapes,' said Vincennes University President Dr. Chuck Johnson.
Travis Linneweber, currently Vincennes University's Budget Director, will transition to replace Wampler as the university's Assistant Vice President of Financial Services.
Dr. Treanor will also be leaving the university, as she has been named the next President of Virginia Western Community College in Roanoke, Virginia.
Dr. Treanor joined Vincennes University in 2018, and since then has launched Leadership Lunch and Learn sessions, created the Trailblazer Teaching Academy and lead the American Council on Education Women's Network Indiana.
'Few have matched the tireless dedication and transformative leadership of Dr. Laura Treanor. Her extraordinary impact over the past seven years has significantly advanced Vincennes University and will be felt for decades to come,' said Johnson.
Jaci Lederman will serve as Interim Provost, Vice President for Instructional Services and Dean of Faculty in Dr. Treanor's absence.
'We will soon celebrate and bid farewell to two exceptional leaders whose dedicated service and countless contributions have significantly strengthened Vincennes University; fortunately, we are also blessed to have talented colleagues ready to step into new roles, ensuring continued stability and success through these transitions and into the future,' said Johnson.

Ohio Blvd Project discussion continues
TERRE HAUTE, Ind. (WTWO/WAWV)— Dozens of residents attended the Terre Haute City Council Thursday night, as they discussed the proposed Ohio Boulevard Project. Brickyard Estates and Paddock at the Park is a proposed $70 million project. It will include single family homes and multi family units located between Ohio Boulevard and Edgewood Grove. The homes are slated to be part of 93 home subdivision of 1600 square feet and with a price between $350,000 to $400,000. There will also be 11, three story apartment complexes. Many residents voiced they agree with the housing side of the project, but not the apartment side. 'This proposal, the money it will need to be paid back over a 20 year span. And knowing that 20 years from now, think about what those apartments potentially could look like and how they may downgrade and be a detraction from the jewel of Ohio Boulevard and Deming Park,' Resident Heidi Isaia said. The proposal was tabled until June 12th. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed.

Young 4-H kids learn about different career paths
CLAY COUNTY, Ind. (WTWO/WAWV) — The annual Mini 4-H Day Camp took place Thursday at the Clay County Fairgrounds. Kids ages kindergarten through 2nd grade got a taste of what being a 4-H member is like by learning about civic engagement, life skills, and of course, livestock. The camp looks to give kids a jumpstart before they reach the 3rd grade and begin participating in 4-H themselves. Also at the camp today was Duke Energy. Duke gave a presentation that showed kids the equipment they use and how to be safe when working, which 4-H Youth Development Coordinator Natalie Korniak said is a major emphasis on the day. 'One of the things we focus on in 4-H is career readiness, so being ready for different life adventures', Korniak said. 'Part of that is learning about the different trades or different career paths they might have and teaching them from this age all the way through senior year of high school. Hopefully they get lots of different experiences that they will be able to see if they might like to do that someday.' BASF donated vests for all of the kids participating in the camp today and they were taught how to be visually safe when doing a job. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
