The candidate search for a new provost has narrowed to a field of six finalists, who are scheduled to visit UMass Boston for interviews in late February and early March. The six were selected from a pool of 80 applicants by a search committee of faculty and staff. The candidates are Kent Chabotar of Bowdoin College, Paul Fonteyn of San Francisco State University, Walter Harris of North Carolina Central University, Cynthia Hirtzel of SUNY Plattsburgh, Arthur MacEwan, who currently is serving as interim vice chancellor for academic affairs and provost, and Nancy Uscher of the University of Mexico.
The candidates will have a full day of interviews with members
of the university community, including an open meeting for faculty and
staff from 2:30 to 3:30 p.m. Candidates will also be meeting with deans,
vice chancellors, senior provost’s office personnel, students, the
search committee, and the chancellor.
Candidate visits are scheduled for February 25 (Arthur MacEwan), February
27 (Cynthia Hirtzel), March 4 (Paul Fonteyn), March 6 (Walter Harris),
March 11 (Nancy Uscher), and on March 13 (Kent Chabotar). A university
memo with locations of the open meetings and biographical information
will be distributed.
