Provost search update: semi-finalists identified from strong pool of candidates 

A message from Dr. SuJean Choi, chair of the provost search committee 

Following campus listening sessions, the provost search committee has been working with executive search firm Isaacson, Miller to recruit candidates to the pool. In their recruitment efforts, Isaacson, Miller heard strong support for Marquette, especially for Marquette’s 2031 strategic plan, Guided by Mission, Inspired to Change

More than 150 candidates expressed interest in the position. The committee evaluated a broad and deep pool of candidates that included sitting provosts, deans with five or more years of experience, and leaders from R1 research universities. Using CVs, cover letters and insights from Isaacson, Miller, the committee has identified semi-finalists who will interview this month.  

Following those interviews, we will engage in discernment and discussion as a committee and with President Kimo Ah Yun to identify finalists who will visit campus.  

This is a confidential search to attract the best possible candidates. Some additional members of the campus community will be invited to participate in the finalists’ visits.
