As provost, she will supervise the structure of the School of Business & Entrepreneurship; the School of Science, Technology & Education; and the School of Humanities and Fine Arts.

“Meg is one of the smartest people I have ever worked with,” Eck said. “Her care for this institution, her desire to see students succeed and her understanding of this role made her the best fit.”
