Office of the Provost

Welcome to the Office of the Provost

“Colleges need to prepare students for society as it exists, not as we wish it existed. At the same time, faculty and administrators should work in thoughtful, reflective ways to develop programs that are consistent with institutional values and that seek a better society for tomorrow.” — Provost Timmerman
