Dr. Laura 哈特利 from George Fox University has been named the new provost at 西雅图 Pacific University. She will begin her new role on July 1, 2020.
哈特利 is currently associate provost for student academic success and dean of the 文学院, 人文学科, and Social 科学 at George Fox, where she oversees six multi-disciplinary academic departments as well as the Office of Student Learning 支持 Services, the Department of Professional Studies (George Fox’s adult degree program) and other student success initiatives. 哈特利 also regularly teaches linguistics and courses to first-year students.
“博士. 哈特利, we have found a gifted academic leader to help advance 西雅图 Pacific by building on our breadth and depth as we seek new opportunities for our future,” said SPU President Dan Martin in an email to the campus community. “She has experience and expertise that will prove key in assuming the role of provost and, perhaps most importantly, she cares deeply about the welfare and needs of the faculty, 工作人员, 和学生.”
作为教务长, she will oversee undergraduate and graduate faculty and academics, serve on the Senior 领导团队, and work with the president to establish and champion a shared academic and faith-based vision for 西雅图 Pacific.
哈特利 says it is with a “great deal of joy and gratitude” that she accepts the offer to join the SPU community.
“西雅图 Pacific University is an outstanding institution, deeply committed to offering excellent academic programs that prepare its diverse student body to impact their communities and workplaces in significant ways. I look forward to working with President Martin and the Senior 领导团队 to strengthen the educational offerings and ensure the institution’s long-term viability.”
在乔治·福克斯之前, 哈特利 served as associate dean and director of general education at Templeton Honors College at Eastern University in St. 大卫,宾夕法尼亚州.
