The next candidate in the 深夜看片鈥檚 search for a new provost and executive vice president of academic affairs will visit all three USF campuses next week.
The provost search committee selected Prasant Mohapatra, vice chancellor for research at the University of California, Davis and professor in the Department of Computer Science, to advance to the next stage in the process. Mohapatra will be the fifth candidate to participate in campus visits during the search. In October, the search committee brought forward four candidates for interviews and campus visits. Since that time, the committee has continued to search for additional candidates.
