Meetings
Each term the Office of the Provost will offer a “Timely Updates” meeting to ensure unit heads are informed of the campus wide changes or timely information. These will be interactive with time for questions to be answered. The intended audience includes academic department heads, school heads, associate deans, area directors, program directors, etc., but all interested academic leaders are welcome! Email Sierra Dawson with questions, accommodation needs, and more.
