Re: Interim campus provost named
Dear Colleagues:
It is my pleasure to announce that Dean Martin M. Chemers has accepted my invitation to become interim Campus Provost and Executive Vice Chancellor of the University of California, Santa Cruz. He will step down as Dean of the Division of Social Sciences to assume his new post effective December 1, 2003. The appointment of Dr. Chemers is pending approval by University President Robert C. Dynes and the Board of Regents.
A distinguished Professor of Psychology, Dr. Chemers brings to the office of Campus Provost and EVC an exceptional scholarly record and extensive administrative experience. He is widely regarded among social-psychologists as the foremost scholar on cross-cultural and social psychological aspects of leadership. Prior to joining the Santa Cruz campus as Dean in 1995, Dr. Chemers was Henry R. Kravis Professor of Leadership and Organizational Psychology and Director of the Kravis Leadership Institute at Claremont McKenna College.
Dr. Chemers will replace John B. Simpson, who has served with distinction since 1998. CP/EVC Simpson has accepted the presidency of the University of Buffalo, SUNY. On behalf of the campus community, I would like to thank John personally for his outstanding service.
I know that you will join me in welcoming Dr. Chemers to his new assignment.
