Sheri Everts is an American academic who is the current chancellor of Appalachian State University in North Carolina.
Everts grew up in Nebraska, and attended elementary school in a one-room schoolhouse. She completed her undergraduate education at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln, graduating with a B.A. in English in 1980. She worked as a high-school English teacher in Nebraska and Kansas for several years, later returning to UNL to complete an M.A. in literacy education and a Ph.D. in education. In 1994, Everts joined the University of Nebraska Omaha as an assistant professor in the Department of Teacher Education. She was made assistant vice-chancellor for academic and student affairs in 2000, associate vice-president in 2003, and interim senior vice-chancellor in 2006.[1] Everts left UNO in 2008 to become provost and vice-president for academic affairs at Illinois State University.[2] She served as interim president from May to August 2013, following the resignation of Alvin Bowman.[3] In March 2014, Everts was announced as the new chancellor of Appalachian State University.[4] She took office in July 2014, but was not formally installed until April 2015.[5]
Criticism
In June 2016, in response to a series of changes in the administration, a group of ASU students, alumni, and faculty launched a website critical of Everts' actions as chancellor.[6]
