A Message from Provost Lewis

About Us » Provost Earl Lewis

Welcome to the homepage for Emory University’s Office of the Provost. In the pages that are linked we hope to offer you an easily accessed and thorough overview of the operations, programs and practices that comprise the university’s offices of academic affairs. This overview should connect you to the nine individual schools and colleges, libraries, museums, as well as admissions, financial aid and the registrar. It should offer a snapshot of the domains of each of the senior vice provosts and provide a sense of the scope of the Office’s activities. From this page you should have access to details about our faculty, students, community and planning priorities and the means of accessing reports, publications and electronic presentations.

The Office of the Provost, in collaboration, formulates general University policy and academic priorities, works to ensure the appropriate allocation of resources and space, manages the promotion and tenure process, initiates crosscutting educational opportunities, and encourages and coordinates initiatives in undergraduate and graduate education. In the main, the Office is designed to help advance the University’s goal of continuing to move from excellent to eminence in all domains.

Provost Earl Lewis is Emory University's Chief Academic Officer. In his role he:

coordinates activities across school and college boundaries;

works with external and internal stakeholders in pursuit of university priorities;

supervises the educational policies and work of the University;

chairs Ways and Means and leads preparation of the university's annual budget;

acts on faculty appointments and promotions; and

is the acting chief executive officer in the absence of the President.

We hope you find this website to be a useful resource. We welcome suggestions on how we can improve its usefulness.

 

Sincerely,

Earl Lewis, PhD
Provost and Executive Vice President for Academic Affairs
