Study in US: University of Arkansas launches Provost Search

The Provost will be responsible for overseeing all academic affairs of the University of Arkansas including mentoring, and administration of programs of instruction.

Current Provost Terry Martin is all set to return to a full-time role in June 2025 as a professor of electrical engineering, the University of Arkansas has started its search for the next provost.

"Terry Martin has exemplified what it means to be a servant leader — always putting the needs of our students, faculty and staff first in every decision he's made as provost. As we search for his successor, we seek someone who shares his commitment to serving others and ensuring that student success remains at the heart of everything we do,” said Chancellor Charles Robinson.

The search committee will be chaired by J.F. Meullenet, senior associate vice president for agriculture research and director of the Arkansas Agricultural Experiment Station.

"I am incredibly grateful that J.F. Meullenet has agreed to chair this search. I've had the privilege of working with Professor Meullenet on several occasions, including when he helped forge the agreement that redefined the relationship between the university and the Division of Agriculture. With his extensive background in teaching, research and outreach, J.F. has a deep understanding of all aspects of our land-grant mission. I have no doubt that he will help us find the right person for this role,” added the Chancellor.
