The provost fosters a culture of creative problem solving and continual institutional improvement, and ensures the financial soundness of the College's academic and campus life programming.

The next provost will join McDaniel in early summer 2021, at a critical time for planning and establishing a vision for the institution through the development of an ambitious new strategic plan. Working with campus constituents, the provost will directly contribute to shaping this vision, continue the systematic review of academic programs, and lead the faculty in revising the general education curriculum to meet the unique needs of 21st century learners. Through deliberate, proactive measures, the provost will further the College's commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion and the ongoing establishment of anti-racist policies and practices. To ensure high quality services and support, the provost will improve policies, practices, and outcomes related to student success and implement changes needed in response to increasing enrollment.
