From the Consultative Committee for the Selection of a Provost
A Call for Nominations and Advice
The Consultative Committee for the Selection of a Provost (Almanac September 28, 2004) invites the entire University community to submit nominations and suggestions of individuals—from both inside and outside the University—to be considered for the position of Provost. The Committee also welcomes input and advice regarding the nature of the Provost position and the kind of individual who would make a successful Provost at Penn.
The Provost is the chief academic officer of the University, responsible to the President for the conduct, coordination, and quality of all of Penn's academic and research programs. The University seeks an eminent, energetic, and judicious academic leader with a distinguished record of scholarly and administrative achievement who can lead Penn's faculty and academic programs into the very forefront of American and global higher education.
Nominations and expressions of interest should be sent in confidence, and preferably via e-mail, to: 2912@imsearch.com
