Prakash to serve as ÎÞÂëÂÒÂ× Provost
I am pleased to announce that I have selected College of Natural Science and Mathematics interim dean Anupma Prakash to serve as the ÎÞÂëÂÒÂ×’ next provost and executive vice chancellor.
Dr. Prakash’s career has given her deep roots in research and academics, and a keen understanding of the needs of graduate and undergraduate students. In addition to serving as a successful and productive faculty member, she has demonstrated success in administration and leadership for CNSM, ÎÞÂëÂÒÂ× and the UA system through leadership of the $24 million Alaska Established Program to Stimulate Competitive Research.
Dr. Prakash’s strong relationships with faculty members throughout ÎÞÂëÂÒÂ×, commitment to academic excellence and student achievement, and reputation as a steady leader who seeks diverse perspectives make her the right person to serve as our new provost.
Please join me in welcoming Dr. Prakash to ÎÞÂëÂÒÂ×’s executive leadership team. I am confident in her ability to help our university navigate today’s challenges and opportunities while we build a solid future for tomorrow.
— Daniel M. White, chancellor
