university’s new senior vice president for academic affairs and provost.
William G. Potter, university librarian and associate provost, will be chair of the committee to find a successor to Karen Holbrook, who became president of Ohio State University Oct. 1. Potter also chaired the search committee that recommended Holbrook, who came to UGA in 1998.
The committee includes members of the university administration as well as faculty, staff and student members and an alumni representative. The faculty members were drawn from a list of nominees compiled by the University Council Executive Committee.
Adams says the committee will be assisted by Shelly Storbeck, the same consultant with the A.K. Kearney search firm who worked with the committee that identified Holbrook.
“I want to thank Bill Potter for accepting responsibility to again lead this vitally important process for the university,” Adams says. “This committee will follow the same process that identified Dr. Holbrook, who provided such extraordinary leadership. I’m confident that this committee will be equally successful in identifying outstanding candidates to fill this position.”
Adams says the committee will work throughout the current academic year, with the goal of having a new provost in place by the start of the new academic year next July.
In addition to Potter, members of the committee are:
Wyatt Anderson, dean of the Franklin College of Arts and Sciences; William E. Barstow, professor of plant biology; Rose Chepyator-Thomson, associate professor in the School of Health and Human Performance; Lynda B. Courts, an alumna and a trustee of the UGA Foundation; David Downs, associate professor of real estate;
Thomas Holland, professor of social work and co-director of the Institute for Nonprofit Organizations; Brenda Keen, business manager of the Georgia Review and past president of the Staff Council; Katrina Landau, a graduate student in biopsychology and coordinator of the Graduate Student Association; James G. Ledbetter, director of the Carl Vinson Institute of Government;
Jean Martin-Williams, associate professor of music; James Moore, Distinguished Research Professor of Large Animal Medicine; Jere Morehead, associate provost and director of the Honors Program and the Foundation Fellows program; Richard H. Mullendore, vice president for student affairs and associate provost; Mark Rieger, professor of horticulture and chair of the University Council Executive Committee;
Lorilee Sandmann, associate vice president for public service and outreach and executive director of the Georgia Center for Continuing Education; Sachin Varghese, president of the Student Government Association; Margaret Wagner-Dahl, director of research development and technology alliances; and Victor K. Wilson, associate vice president for student affairs. |
