In the fall of 2024, CSTEM Dean David Bowman and Faculty Organization Vice-President Ginelle Hustrulid were asked to lead the Provost Search Screening Committee in pursuit of Eastern Washington University’s next provost and vice president for Academic Affairs.

The 10-person committee worked with WittKieffer in a national search to identify four finalists for the position. The finalists will be on the EWU campus in Cheney between Jan. 27 and Feb. 6. The open forums for the candidates are scheduled from 11 a.m.-noon on Jan. 27, Jan. 30, Feb. 3 and Feb. 5.

The university has published a Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs Search website that includes information about each candidate’s credentials, including biographies and CVs, a schedule of the upcoming forums, along with Zoom links to attend remotely, and a link to provide feedback. Any updates will be posted on the website.
