Dear colleagues:
I am delighted to announce that Scott Coltrane, dean of the University of Oregon's College of Arts and Sciences, has accepted my invitation to serve in an interim role as the UO's senior vice president and provost beginning July 1.
This is an exciting time to be at the University of Oregon. It is a time of tremendous accomplishment, as our faculty, students, and alumni, through their research and scholarship, contribute ideas and innovations that impact our economy and quality of life in a substantive way. It is a time of change, of the integration of new technologies, the opening of new facilities, and soon, the graduation of a new class of UO alumni who will go out and make their mark on the world.
