WACO, Texas (Feb. 27, 2019) – Baylor University has named Nancy W. Brickhouse, Ph.D., as provost following a national search to help lead the institution toward its goal of becoming the next preeminent Christian research university. Dr. Brickhouse will assume her new role May 1.

The Baylor University Provost Search Committee has been working with our AGB Search consulting team over the last few weeks making final preparations for the public launch of the search.

Assembling the most dynamic, mission-focused group of senior administrators as we pursue our aspirations as a preeminent Christian research university is of vital importance.

In January of this year, I asked a dedicated group of faculty and staff to join me in the search for Baylor University’s next Provost.

The search for Baylor University’s next Provost has moved on to the next phase of the process. The committee is no longer accepting nominations or applications for the position.

I am pleased to announce the members of the Baylor Provost Search Committee, which is charged with identifying candidates to serve as the University’s permanent academic leader who will guide us in our quest to become a “tier one” Christian research university.
