Washington, October 21, 2024 – The American Association of State Colleges and Universities (AASCU) has selected 26 outstanding higher education leaders to participate in its 2024 Academy for New Provosts (ANP), a leadership development program designed for the specific needs of new provosts at state colleges and universities. The program, which is in its fifth year, gives cohort members the opportunity to connect with their peers as they learn strategies for tackling the distinctive challenges they will face in their role.

The 2024 Academy for New Provosts will meet in Washington, D.C., Oct. 22-25 for their first in-person gathering. The group will also participate in monthly virtual learning and networking sessions. ANP is made possible in part by generous support from AASCU strategic partner Ad Astra.

ANP will prepare new provosts to build trust through effective communication; strengthen their psychological and physical resilience; navigate between the president’s vision and the expectations of faculty members; integrate academic planning with budget, facility, and IT planning; manage key relationships for success; and understand principles of exemplary academic leadership, change management, and university finance and budget.

2024- 2025 ANP cohort and faculty.
