Provost & Vice-President (Academic)

The Selection Committee for a Provost and Vice-President (Academic) began its work late last year and members of the Committee have been focused on finding the best possible Provost for McMaster. The Committee began by reviewing the specific responsibilities and key priorities for the position and also considered carefully the particular combination of skills, attributes and experience that would be required of the University's chief academic officer at this critical time.

Although impressed by the strength and quality of all the candidates for the position, the Committee remains committed to taking the necessary time to find the best person for McMaster and is not yet ready to recommend an appointment. The Committee is continuing to accept applications and nominations and will provide further updates as its work progresses.

The Committee wishes to thank the University community for its support and for the helpful comments and suggestions that it has received. Interim arrangements for the Provost position are currently being considered and will be announced in due course.
