The Office of the Provost and Executive Vice President

An Update from the Provost and Executive Vice President | October 2024Academic Matters

I hope everyone had an opportunity to enjoy Fall Break last week. I wanted to begin this month’s letter with an update about our search for a new dean of the Bagley College of Engineering. The search firm assisting the search committee and our chair, College of Business Dean Scott Grawe, reports a strong and growing pool of applicants. The committee members will soon begin their review of the applications, and we will then host candidates for campus interviews the week after Thanksgiving. We’re confident that we’ll be able to announce our new dean before the break begins in December. I appreciate Dr. Grawe and the committee members for their commitment to this critical undertaking, and I also thank Interim Dean Robert Green for his strong leadership of the Bagley College through this leadership transition.
