Chancellor Martin named Paul DeLuca Jr. the university's provost and vice chancellor for academic affairs on June 11, 2009.
Paul hails from the UW-Madison School of Medicine and Public Health (SMPH) where he served as vice dean and associate dean for research and graduate studies. Although he has been in the SMPH for many years, he has a strong liberal arts background leading to a Ph.D. in Physics.
I worked with Paul on a number of campus-wide initiatives and issues over the years and have found him to be very knowledgeable about the challenges and opportunities facing the university.
Paul is also a person of high integrity and has a very transparent management and leadership style. I look forward to working with him in his new role as Provost.
