See the link below. From the article:
”UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — Penn State has initiated a national search for its next executive vice president and provost. As the University’s chief academic officer, reporting directly to President Neeli Bendapudi, the provost works with deans, chancellors, faculty, and staff across the University and helps set and lead academic priorities, uphold research and teaching excellence, support access and affordability, and advance the land-grant mission.
A leader in academics, research and innovation, Penn State is in the midst of transforming the University’s future, rooted in a commitment to delivering the highest value to students, and to creating an environment that provides opportunities for growth and empowerment for all faculty and staff. The next provost will be integral in guiding these efforts.
“The search for our next provost is pivotal for our University, as this individual will be the champion of our academic mission,” said Bendapudi. “With a vibrant community of students, faculty, staff and alumni spanning our commonwealth and globally, Penn State continues to be a leader in higher education, ranking among the top institutions in the world in research and academics. The next provost will serve as a visionary leader with an enduring commitment to the University’s mission and the students we educate.”
The search will begin immediately to fill this critical position. An internal search committee has been established to select the ideal candidate, with the recruiting firm WittKieffer assisting to curate an excellent pool of talent.”
