Our Charge

The Office of the Provost provides leadership, guidance, resources, and bridges between the academic and student affairs units on campus to create an integrated student experience.

The Office of the Provost assists and oversees each of the six Schools and one College that comprise Academic Affairs, with the satellite campus, Gonzaga in Florence, similarly included. Please see the organization chart here.

Together, the Provost, the Deans and Associate Deans, the Vice and Associate Provosts, as well as Chairs of departments and directors of centers or institutes make up the academic leaders of the university. All set goals grounded in Ignatian, Jesuit, Catholic, and humanistic education.

I am honored to have joined Gonzaga as its provost in 2022. I am privileged to join in its Catholic, Jesuit, and humanistic mission.
