Endicott College has begun the search for its next Provost, a critical leadership role that advances the College's academic mission, supports faculty and students, and helps shape the future of teaching, learning, scholarship, and innovation.

We are committed to conducting a thoughtful, inclusive search that reflects our mission and strategic priorities while ensuring opportunities for faculty, staff, students, alumni, and trustees to provide meaningful input.
About the Role
As the College's chief academic officer, the Provost provides leadership for Endicott's academic enterprise, working closely with faculty, academic leaders, and the President to advance academic excellence, support student success, foster innovation, and guide the College's long-term academic strategy.
Search Committee
The Provost Search Committee is charged with leading the search process, engaging the campus community, and recommending finalists to the President and the Board of Trustees to make the final appointment.
Current committee leadership includes:
- Jon Payson – Trustee, Co-Chair
- Brandi Johnson – Vice President for Belonging and Strategic Engagement, Co-Chair
- Ryan Graf – Committee Member
Additional committee members representing the community will be announced as appointments are finalized.
Community Listening Sessions
Community feedback is an important part of the search process. Throughout August and September, members of the Endicott community are invited to participate in listening sessions to help identify the experiences, qualities, and leadership characteristics that should define Endicott's next Provost.
Feedback gathered during these sessions will inform the Provost Position Profile, which will guide candidate recruitment and evaluation. Once finalized, the profile will be shared with the community.
