Announced 90 minutes ago, Dr. Jennifer Turpin, Dean of Arts and Sciences, has been selected to lead USF’s Academics as the next University Provost! We interviewed Dean Jenny right here at the heart of campus in the Fall.
Here’s video of the announcement. I was in the room at the time, (a packed house, spontaneously filled with about 12 hours lead time), and an incredibly positive buzz greeted the news.
This concludes a painstaking national search, with the community having interviewed four exciting finalists over the last many weeks. Jenny will take over the helm from Dr. James Wiser, whose steady hand has led USF Academics during the superlative period 1998-2010.
