Provost’s Welcome Message

Welcome to the Division of Academic Affairs at MSU Billings! It is truly my honor to serve as the Interim Provost and Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs at MSU Billings. I feel extraordinarily privileged to be a part of the MSU Billings community, working alongside our faculty, staff, and administrators, to strive every day to fulfill our vision of “educating students to impact an evolving global community.” Our mission is to deliver “a transformative education that empowers students from diverse backgrounds to succeed.” Student success and faculty success are at the core of everything that we do. Our recently launched 2022–2027 Retention and Graduation Plan establishes best practices for supporting students to ensure successful and timely progress to degree completion. A comprehensive faculty success program is designed to support the faculty through a variety of programs to enhance faculty retention, professional development, research and scholarly activities, and engagement in shared governance. It is an incredible honor and privilege for me to have the opportunity to advance these exciting initiatives in support of our students and faculty.
