Search Committee Chair Brandi Jacobs-Jones, senior vice president for operations/chief of staff, said the committee initially received nearly 60 applicants.
“The quality and depth of the candidate pool the committee reviewed is a testament to our university’s reputation of having a family-like atmosphere that focuses on quality of education and student success,” she added. “We heard that over and over in letters of interest and in the off-site semi-finalist interviews we conducted earlier this month.”
Jacobs-Jones said the search committee anticipates the new provost will be named before the end of this semester and will be on board for the start of the 2018-19 academic year.
