Message from the Provost
Please join me in offering a warm welcome to our newest faculty colleagues. They have already made impressive contributions, and our academic environment will be enriched by their diverse perspectives and commitment to our shared traditions of rigorous inquiry and free expression. They join a community of scholars making outsized contributions to their fields and providing transformational educational experiences for our students.
The University is committed to supporting our faculty’s work by connecting them to a wide array of resources on campus, in Chicago, at our global centers, and beyond.
It is exciting that these outstanding scholars have joined our academic community at this critical time, when their insights, advancements, and contributions are needed more than ever.
