Spring Stevenson Provost Duties

Dear Stevenson Community,

During Spring quarter, Jaye Padgett will be sharing the duties of Provost of Stevenson College with me. Many of you know Prof. Padgett, Chair of the Linguistics Department, from his participation as an active and dedicated Stevenson faculty fellow, and former CEP chair.

We intend to distribute the work as follows: Co-Provost Padgett will manage daily provost duties, including academic standing, advising, CEP petitions, scholarships, academic integrity cases, and independent studies. Co-Provost Yang will manage long-term planning, policy, budget, curriculum, and hiring decisions.

We will both hold office hours and one or both will attend major events at Stevenson. Co-Provost Alice Yang will have office hours on Fridays from 8-10 AM in the Stevenson provost office and by appointment at ayang@ucsc.edu. Co-Provost Jaye Padgett will have office hours on Wednesdays and Fridays from 9:30-10:30 AM in Stevenson 253 and by appointment at padgett@ucsc.edu.

If you are unsure of which provost to contact, please email your request to Provost Assistant Debby Joyce at dajoyce@ucsc.edu and she will make sure your issue is directed to the appropriate provost.

We are both excited about this arrangement and believe that Stevenson College students, fellows, and programs will benefit from our shared leadership.

Best wishes,

Alice Yang and Jaye Padgett

Co-Provosts, Adlai E. Stevenson College
