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.
