Provost Search
The University of Delaware is seeking a distinguished scholar and experienced administrator to become its next Provost. WittKeiffer is assisting in the search. More information will be posted here as it becomes available.
Campus Listening Sessions
Campus Listening Sessions are focused on key audiences, but any member of the UD community may attend any session.
Conversations will be structured around three themes: the opportunities and challenges for the new provost; a description of the experience, credentials, skills and personal qualities that you value; the main reasons individuals would want to pursue this role.
Please register for one of these sessions on Thursday, April 2, 2026. (UD login required)
