James J. McGovern

Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, MS James J. McGovern is an American academic, who served as president of A.T.

In 2003, he co-authored Your Healer Within: A Unified Field Theory for Healthcare, with his wife, Rene McGovern, an ATSU professor of neurobehavioral sciences.

The book’s release coincided with a 2,000-square-foot (190 m2) traveling ATSU exhibit on wellness featured at the Smithsonian Arts and Industries Building in Washington, D.C., and has been translated into several foreign languages.

During his presidency, ATSU increased from 600 to over 3,000 students, approximately quadrupled its endowment and tripled its sponsored research.
