Dear campus community members,

It gives me great pleasure to announce the appointment of the members of the search committee for Provost and Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs. I was very impressed with the strong representation of nominees from all of our five schools, including every level of faculty within the professoriate and a broad cross-section of our staff and students. I want to offer a special thank-you to the executive boards of our faculty, staff, and student governance councils for their commitment to putting forward a diverse and accomplished set of nominees. Our community’s engagement as we prepare to launch this search has been truly amazing.
