Office of the Senior Vice President, Provost and Chief Operating Officer

Welcome!

We're glad that your web search has brought you to the Office of the Senior Vice President, Provost, and Chief Operating Officer.

Our office shares leadership and provides oversight for the administration of the academic, operational, and financial resources of this dynamic metropolitan public research university. In partnership with members of The University of Akron campus and community, we develop and implement plans for academic and facilities priority setting, strategic partnerships, focused fund development, marketing, governmental relations, and campus engagement in service of students and community.

As stated in Design for our Future,

The University of Akron aspires to leadership characterized by engagement, innovation, and inclusiveness. The architecture by which we will assure the leadership of the institution rests on a foundation of assessment-the benchmarking by which we document the impact of our leadership and the degree to which all that we do is marked by the principles of engagement, innovation, and inclusiveness. It is through the transformative power of engaging, innovating, and including-in the content of our curriculum, creation of comprehensive learning environments, expectations for our graduates, structure of our buildings, collaboration with local and global communities, and pursuit of programs of research-that we will define a new performance standard, while also honoring our legacies of access and excellence.
