Miller to Step Down as UWs Provost June 30

Kate Miller, the University of Wyoming’s provost and vice president for academic affairs, will step down from the position June 30.

“We express our appreciation to Dr. Miller for her service to the university and the state,” Acting President Neil Theobald says.

UW’s incoming president, Ed Seidel, will consult with key university stakeholders to consider candidates and select an acting vice president for academic affairs to take the position July 1. That person will serve until a new provost is selected. A national search is planned to begin in September.

Miller has been UW’s chief academic officer since August 2016, coming to Wyoming after serving as dean of the College of Geosciences at Texas A&M University. Among other accomplishments, she helped spearhead UW’s “grand challenges” task force; led the university’s strategic enrollment management effort; and developed UW’s current academic program review process.
