Provost ad interim and Dean David Campbell

Provost ad interim

Dr. David K. Campbell, dean of the College of Engineering, has been named provost ad interim at Boston University. In addition, he will continue to serve as Dean of Engineering.

He steps into the top academic post at the University following the departure of Dr. Dennis Berkey, who was recently named president of Worcester Polytechnic Institute. 

"I am greatly honored to have been asked by President Chobanian to serve as the provost ad interim during this exciting period in the history of Boston University," Campbell said. "We have an amazing wealth of opportunities ahead of us, and our challenge is to assemble the resources to seize these opportunities.  I very much look forward to working with everyone on campus - faculty, staff, and students - to chart the path toward still greater excellence for our university."
