Kennesaw State announced two finalists for the position of provost and vice president of academic affairs on Jan. 17.
Dr. Kathy Schwaig, dean of the Coles College of Business at KSU, and Dr. Jonathon Tubman, vice provost for research and dean of graduate studies at American University, were announced as the new finalists in the search for a provost and vice president of academic affairs.
This announcement was made weeks after the university announced that finalists Drs. Larry Singell, Melanie Perreault, Mike Ferrara and Teresa Dahlberg were no longer being considered for the position.
Presentations will be held on both Jan. 22 and Jan. 24 at the Kennesaw Convocation Center from 10:15-11:15 a.m. and the Marietta campus Engineering Technology Center room Q202 from 3:30-4:30 p.m., according to the KSU website. These presentations are open to all KSU faculty, staff and students.
The search is done by KSU’s Provost Search Committee who will be looking for a professional with successful academic administrative experience and a good leadership style.
Dr. Lynn Disbrow is currently listed as the chair of the provost search committee. She said that throughout the search process, the search committee interviewed candidates and provided finalist recommendations to KSU President Dr. Pamela Whitten.
“The president will make her decision following next week’s visit to the campuses and a review of the feedback from the campus community,” Disbrow said. “An announcement will be made to the campus community as soon as everything is finalized.”
