ŷ���ڱ���Ƶ Boulder Chancellor Justin Schwartz has selected the Provost Search Advisory Committee and has engaged executive search firm to assist in the search process. WittKieffer will conduct listening sessions for students, faculty and staff in December via Zoom to learn more about the university and the qualities and characteristics the campus community would like to see in the next provost. 

“I’m grateful to the search advisory committee members for their willingness to serve,” Schwartz said. “Their input, along with the feedback provided by faculty, staff and students in these listening sessions, will help inform the position profile for our next provost.”

The provost works in collaboration with the faculty, university officers, unit heads, faculty governance representatives, administrators and staff to articulate and achieve the university’s strategic mission and goals, with the focus on providing students the highest quality inclusive educational experience and fostering the university’s research and creative work mission to produce knowledge and innovation. 

Nominations will be solicited in January and finalists will visit campus in the spring semester. The chancellor plans to have a new provost in position by July 1, 2025.
