Vice President for Academic Affairs Adrienne G. Bloss, Ph.D., has been named the first provost of Shenandoah University, a title which better aligns with her role as the university’s chief academic officer. The change is effective Sept. 1.
“This title change more fully reflects the full breadth and diversity of academic programming overseen by Dr. Bloss,” said Shenandoah University President Tracy Fitzsimmons, Ph.D.
“I’m delighted to take on the role of provost at Shenandoah as we continue to add programs that provide students with educational experiences that are not only innovative, but also remain useful and relevant to students throughout their lives,” Bloss said.
Bloss began her tenure at Shenandoah on July 1, 2013, after having served as associate dean for academic affairs and institutional relations at Roanoke College. While with Roanoke, Bloss connected meaningfully with Shenandoah by completing a prestigious American Council on Education (ACE) Fellowship at the university during the 2010-11 school year.
