University of Missouri Interim Provost Lori Franz appointed a 15-member committee to lead the nationwide search for the vice provost for extension. Committee members met Jan. 13 in Columbia to finalize the position description and establish a timeline for completing the search.
“Our goal is to interview candidates in April and have someone on board by mid- to late- summer,” said committee chair Mike Nolan, director of the applied sciences division in the College of Agriculture, Food and Natural Resources.
Nolan expects the position description and other search information to be available next week. The information will be posted online.
“After meeting with the committee, I feel that they will do an excellent job of representing all the diverse constituencies that extension serves,” Nolan said. “I have stressed to the committee that they are not there to represent any particular group but rather to do the best job possible to serve the interests of the University as a whole. If we accomplish that, all programs will be well served.”
Committee members are Wendy Brumbaugh, NE human environmental sciences specialist and president of the University of Missouri Extension Association; Beverly Coberly, interim director of off-campus operations; Mike Cook, professor of ag economics; Ken Dean, interim associate provost; Sam Hawkins, MU Extension State Council president; Mary Lou Hines, UMKC chief information officer and vice provost for academic programs; Mary Leuci, community development program director and assistant dean; Lowell Mohler, former Missouri Department of Agriculture director; Von Pittman, Center for Distance and Independent Study director; Bud Reber, EC regional director; Tony Rickard, SW dairy specialist; Jim Thompson, College of Engineering dean; Ruth Brent Tofle, architectural studies department chair; Bill Wiebold, associate professor of agronomy; and Steve Wyatt, business development program director.
