Provost's Initiatives

Provost's Investment Fund
The Office of the Provost is pleased to invite semi-annual requests for proposals for funding from the Provost Investment Fund (PIF). It is designed to ensure that we can be nimble and proactive in funding high-impact projects that align with the University’s strategic goals and support our ambitions for institutional excellence and distinctiveness. Funding comes from the annual allocation from the Activity Informed Budgeting (AIB) model.
Student Success District
The Student Success District is the place that drives students’ 24/7 development through an array of student support services and spaces based on collaborative, hands-on learning with deep technological engagement. The nine-acre District is also uniquely situated in one easy-to-find location on the University campus. Inspired by student input, we are committed to ensuring that the district provides all students with seamless access to the resources and expertise they need to reach their academic and career goals.
Black Faculty Speaker Series (BFSS)
Our series is committed to fostering a platform for critical dialogue within academia. We strive to showcase a range of perspectives, amplify important scholarly discussions, celebrate the intellectual and cultural contributions of Black scholars, and enhance collaboration among Black faculty, students, and staff, all while promoting meaningful community engagement. We invite you to support the Black Faculty Speakers Series (BFSS) and contribute to the advancement of meaningful community engagement.
