Mr. Joel Hassman Samuels has accepted the role of Provost, and will begin on Aug. 11, 2025. After two years of Willy Prado serving as Interim Executive Vice President for Academic Affairs and Provost, the thorough search to fill this position has come to an end.  “As we emerge from the centenary celebrations of the University, I am honored to partner with President Echevarria and the faculty and staff of the U to lead the academic enterprise into its next century,” Samuels told News@TheU. 📝 Elena Fallow 📸 Courtesy of Joel Hassman Samuels #news #universitynews #studentnews #universityofmiami #provost
