Provosts Fellows

The Provost’s Fellows program is an opportunity for full-time faculty members to work with the Office of the Provost to explore areas of interest and impact. The objectives of the program are 1) to help broaden the scope of work that can be accomplished in the Division of Academic Affairs and 2) to allow selected faculty the opportunity to gain the experience and insight that comes from working in university administration. Each Fellowship is appointed annually—running across an academic year—and is a stipend-based appointment.
