A provost serves as the chief academic officer of a university, responsible for overseeing all aspects of its academic mission.
This includes developing and implementing academic policies, programs, and initiatives to ensure the institution’s educational excellence.
The provost collaborates with faculty and administration to maintain and enhance the quality of teaching, research, and student support services. Additionally, the provost often manages budgets and resources related to academic affairs, fosters interdisciplinary collaboration, and represents the academic interests of the institution to internal and external stakeholders. In essence, the provost plays a pivotal role in shaping the academic direction and success of the university.
Dr. Kuhl has been the new provost at the University of West Florida for close to a year now.
We sat down for a podcast around two months into his position and discussed his goals, plans, and the changes he hopes to implement. Click here for an in-depth talk about our new provost and his vision for the university’s future.
