Provost Search 2012-13

Upon retirement of Provost June R. Aprille in June 2011, President Kenneth P. Ruscio announced that Dr. Robert A. Strong, William Lyne Wilson Professor of Politics, would serve a two-year appointment as the Interim Provost and that a search for a new Provost would be conducted in 2012-13. 

President Ruscio also named a Search Committee and retained the services of Isaacson Miller to assist with the search.   The goal is to bring finalists to campus for interviews in early 2013 and to have a Provost named next spring.

The Search Committee has the following members:
