The Search Wednesday, December 15, 2021
From a recently circulated email: To: UCLA Faculty and Staff Dear Colleagues: I write to provide several updates on the search for UCLA’s next executive vice chancellor and provost (EVCP). The EVCP is one of UCLA’s most important leadership positions — a role with responsibility for our campus’s day-to-day operations as well as oversight of our complex academic enterprise. Additionally, this is a critical time in the life of our university, as we emerge from the pandemic and consider the ways in which UCLA should evolve as a result of what we have learned from it. In the past few weeks we have been laying the groundwork for the EVCP search, and I am eager to work with our campus community to find an excellent candidate to serve in the role at such a pivotal moment. The search for our next EVCP will be managed by my office. Roger Wakimoto, vice chancellor for research and creative activities and professor of atmospheric and oceanic sciences, will chair the search committee. Other members of the committee include: • Leisy J. Abrego — professor and chair, César E. Chávez Department of Chicana/o and Central American Studies • Onyebuchi A. Arah — professor of epidemiology; associate dean, UCLA Graduate Division • S. Thomas Carmichael — professor and chair, Department of Neurology; Frances Stark Chair • Jessica Cattelino — professor of anthropology; vice chair, UCLA Academic Senate • Christina A. Christie — Wasserman Dean, School of Education and Information Studies; professor of education • Jody E. Kreiman — professor of head and neck surgery and of linguistics; chair, UCLA Faculty Association Blog: 4th Quarter 2021
