Provost
In Spring 2026, Boise State initiated preparation for a national search for our next Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs. In April and May of 2026, the university hosted listening sessions for faculty and staff. Additionally, through a campus survey, feedback was collected and nominations solicited for the search committee and other search-related roles.
