Message from the Vice Provost for Faculty Affairs
Research universities derive their distinction from their faculty. It is faculty who generate knowledge, train future thought leaders, and define what an institution stands for intellectually and in the world.
- Giacomo Negro,
Emory’s Office of Faculty Affairs supports faculty at every stage of their career and across every track as we collectively seek to advance the university’s mission to create, preserve, teach and apply knowledge in the service of humanity. Our work is to offer guidance, celebrate your achievements, and build the structures and relationships that allow you to do your best work – and to thrive as scholars, teachers, mentors and leaders.
We look forward to working with faculty across every school and college toward that end.
Vice Provost for Faculty Affairs
Asa Griggs Candler Professor of Management and Organization and associate dean for culture and community in Goizueta Business School
