The Office of the Provost and Executive Vice President

An Update from the Provost and Executive Vice President | August 2025Academic Matters

This week marks the start of something very special for our students and our larger academic community. I love the first day of class and the promise it brings as we start a new year together. I want to begin this month’s letter by thanking all of you who have offered prayers, encouraging words, and some delicious meals after my recent surgery. I’m well on my way to a full recovery, and I appreciate your support. With some required time away from the office, I’ve been grateful to have an exceptional team in place in the Division of Academic Affairs. It’s a team that’s seen a few changes over the summer, and I wanted to provide a brief update.
