“The Role of the Provost in Shaping the Future of Higher Education – Challenges and Opportunities.”

These forums will be held in the Ahmanson Auditorium on the following dates. Please RSVP with the links included on this page. A Zoom option is also available, and the link will be provided upon confirmation of your RSVP.

Your participation and feedback are essential to this important process. A survey link will be provided to share your input directly with President Poon following each forum.

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out—we’d be happy to assist.
