A Message from the Interim Provost

Greetings -

I hope the summer break has gone well for each of you. For those that haven't been on campus, we've had a lot of very excited first-year students and families getting ready for school to start. I share that energy as I move into the role of interim provost. I’ll give more updates at the opening faculty meeting, but I'm both excited and humbled to be working with you in this capacity. I’m also getting used to having an office west of I-81!

We have an interesting year ahead, and I look forward to collaborating with you as we continue to make JMU a beacon of excellence in higher education.

Regards,
Bob

Question for the Provost?

Academic Affairs faculty and staff can use these feedback features to contact the provost directly about operation of the division.

This is an open line of communication that allows faculty and staff to express their questions, but it is not a substitute from the crucial interactions you have with your academic unit head, department head and dean.

Students should contact AcademicQuestions@jmu.edu with questions.
