Dear Friends:
On June 1, 2009, Chancellor J. Keith Motley announced the appointment of Winston E. Langley, professor of political science and international relations, as provost and vice chancellor for academic affairs at UMass Boston. He will officially begin this appointment on July 1. I invite those of you who may be unfamiliar with Professor Langley’s distinguished record of achievement to consult his curriculum vitae, which you can reach through this link.
On behalf of all of the members of the search committee, which included faculty, staff, students, and community representatives, I want to thank the UMass Boston campus community, the search firm of Isaacson Miller, and the community at large, for their deep engagement with this important process and for the invaluable input that resulted in its successful conclusion.
We extend Professor Langley our hearty congratulations and offer him our full support for his leadership in the years ahead.
Warmly,
Paul Tucker
Professor of Art
Chair, Provost Search Committee
