Dear UConn Faculty, Staff, and Students:

On behalf of the Search Committee, I am pleased to announce that three outstanding candidates for the position of Vice Provost for Undergraduate Studies have advanced as finalists. Candidates will meet with University stakeholders and conduct a Public Forum this week (August 25, 26, 28), where each candidate will present briefly on their vision for undergraduate studies and their qualifications to lead these initiatives under the Office of the Provost.

We invite all members of the University community to attend the public forums and to submit questions for these candidates via the modes outlined below.
