Illinois State University President Al Bowman has named Sheri Noren Everts as the University’s next vice president for Academic Affairs and provost. Everts, currently the interim senior vice chancellor for Academic and Student Affairs at the University of Nebraska-Omaha, will begin her appointment on July 1, 2008. Jan Murphy, associate provost, will serve as acting provost until then.
The Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs provides leadership in the planning, development, implementation, and assessment of all academic programs and many service areas. The Provost serves as the chief academic officer of the University with responsibility for academic and senior-level internal leadership and serves as the primary representative for the President in his absence.
The Provost also coordinates the team of senior staff to achieve the University's established major goals as identified by the President and the Board of Trustees. This team coordinates reporting units, carries out teaching and learning initiatives, and works with other representative bodies to maintain the university's tradition of shared governance.
