Lindsey Simon-Jones, associate professor of English, will serve as interim chancellor and chief academic officer of Penn State Fayette, The Eberly Campus, from July 1 to Dec. 31, 2024, during the transition to a regional leadership model. Penn State is streamlining its Commonwealth Campus leadership structure as several chancellors retire or leave. Megan Nagel, currently the chancellor of Penn State Greater Allegheny, will oversee Penn State’s Fayette, Greater Allegheny and New Kensington campuses, with Simon-Jones facilitating the transition at the Fayette campus. 

“I’m honored to be selected for the position of interim chancellor and chief academic officer at the Fayette campus,” Simon-Jones said. “I look forward to working with campus and University leaders during this transition to support academic excellence and continue our commitment to student-centered learning.” 

Simon-Jones has been recognized as a distinguished teacher, scholar and administrator at Penn State Fayette. She has served as program coordinator for the humanities bachelor of arts degree program, the English Department, and the multidisciplinary studies associate degree program, where she oversaw full-time and part-time faculty, coordinated curriculum, and mentored junior faculty. She also has been actively involved in the accreditation assessment for the nursing, physical therapist assistant and engineering programs. 

In her role as a faculty leader, Simon-Jones has chaired the Promotion and Tenure Committee, the Fayette Faculty Senate, and various other key committees. She organized the English Department’s fall conference and collaborated on the restructuring of the Fayette Faculty Senate into a more efficient committee and subcommittee structure. 

Simon-Jones' research interests include medieval literature, modern British social history, and the intersection of gender and culture. Her publications cover topics such as Anglo-Saxon world influences and gender in medieval texts. She has received numerous awards, including the Faculty Excellence Award for Teaching and the Scholarly Excellence Award.
