This will be a community-engaged effort, like our strategic planning process. In March and early April, we will hold listening sessions for members of the community to help shape the position profile and identify priorities for the search.
Dr. Marlene Tromp, President
The input of the UVM community is essential to this process. With that input, we anticipate beginning national recruitment in April, with the goal of completing the search in early fall 2026. We expect the new provost to begin in January 2027.
