During the transition, Assanis is fully committed to his current post as provost of Stony Brook University. At the same time, he is receiving regular briefings about UD issues and departments and will be making periodic visits to the campus as his schedule allows.

The Office of the Vice President and University Secretary is serving as the transition office, and all communications are being coordinated there.
