New American Colleges Welcome Eight New Provosts

The New American Colleges and Universities are delighted to welcome a most dynamic group of eight new provosts/CAOs this fall. Who are they? Why did they decide to become provosts? What are their biggest challenges?

Three have backgrounds in English/humanities, four in the sciences (physics, psychology, physiology, nursing), and one in higher education administration. Only three are new to their institutions, and one is actually serving his alma mater. Only one has previously served as a provost, although all have been associate provosts and have held a variety of administrative positions including dean of an Honors College, director of a Teaching Center, vice chancellor for Institutional Planning and Assessment, and dean of a School of Nursing. Two were founding deans of Colleges of Arts and Sciences. Who are they? Why did they decide to become provosts? What are their biggest challenges?

Before learning about their swelling inboxes we caught up with them via email as they began to focus on goals both large (addressing budgeting issues while maintaining academic standards) and small (finding a good dry cleaner). Read snippets of these virtual conversations.
