Provost Initiatives

In 2015, the Office of the Provost launched three major initiatives that are now producing top-level research and new resources for educators. The first initiative focuses on the physical health of individuals and communities. The second examines citizenship—its privileges, responsibilities and vulnerabilities. The third studies the sustainability of human practices within natural, economic and social systems.
