Provost's Post
The Provost's Post is the official newsletter of the Division of Academic Affairs that’s focused on academic issues impacting faculty and staff. It does this by:
- Keeping faculty and staff apprised of major policy decisions, programmatic developments, budget and resource issues, and professional achievements of our faculty and staff.
- Publishing each month during the academic year, with a few exceptions, and once during the summer.
