A University of Georgia search committee has recommended four finalists to UGA President Michael Adams for the position of senior vice president for academic affairs and provost.Each finalist will visit the university and will hold a University Council forum and open public session from 3:30 to 4:30 p.m. in the Chapel on the day of their campus visit. The public sessions, which will be open to faculty, staff, and students, will be followed by a brief media availability.
The finalists were announced by search committee chair William Gray Potter, university librarian and associate provost. The 20-member committee began its work in March and is composed of faculty, staff, administrators, students and alumni. The committee was assisted by Shelly Weiss Storbeck, managing partner of executive search firm Storbeck/Pimentel & Associates.
Adams will choose a successor to Arnett Mace Jr., who is scheduled to retire on Jan. 1 after 18 years of service to UGA, with seven of those years as provost. (Mace will continue his leadership role in the MCG/UGA Medical Partnership under the title Special Assistant to the President.)
The finalists are: Mary Anne Fitzpatrick, founding dean of the University of South Carolina College of Arts and Sciences;Sallie Keller-McNulty, William and Stephanie Sick Dean of the Rice University George R. Brown School of Engineering;Jere W. Morehead, vice president for instruction at the University of Georgia; andRobert D.
