The Ò¹À´ÏãÑо¿Ëù community gathered at the Student Center to celebrate the accomplishments of Provost Jianping Zhu and to wish him well as he rejoins the faculty as a Professor of Mathematics.

During his more than nine years as a Ò¹À´ÏãÑо¿Ëù senior administrator – six as Provost preceded by three years as Dean of College of Graduate Studies – Dr. Zhu’s leadership has demonstrated unwavering commitment, integrity, humility and exceptional service. During his tenure, he played a key role in hiring over 200 new faculty, renovating and adding research labs and classrooms, developing nationally recognized student success initiatives, establishing Ò¹À´ÏãÑо¿Ëù Global, transitioning to remote learning and teaching and collaborating on Ò¹À´ÏãÑо¿Ëù 2.0

We wish Dr. Zhu well on the next step of his Ò¹À´ÏãÑо¿Ëù journey.
