New ‘From the Office of the Provost’ podcast highlights offices strategies, initiatives

For the inaugural “From the Office of the Provost” podcast, Provost Ann Cudd sat down with Joe McCarthy, vice provost for undergraduate studies, and April Belback, director of Student Success, to talk about the new Student Success Hub. 

Launched in April, the podcast highlights the provost office’s programs, strategies and initiatives meant to bolster and “enhance the University’s strengths and vision for growth and transformation.” 

The series will focus on players in the provost’s office and the University discussing their work on various initiatives and projects, and what’s next as the office transitions from the leadership of Ann Cudd to McCarthy, who will serve as interim provost when Cudd leaves at the end of June to become president of Portland State University in Oregon.

Provost office priorities include maximizing student success, fostering a strong culture of diversity, improving access and affordability, supporting data-driven decision-making, achieving efficiencies and cost savings and leading with ethics and integrity. 

A new podcast episode is being recorded in late May and will be available on the website soon.
