\n Jerry Tomberlin Appointed Provost and Vice-President (Academic)\n <\/h1>\n \n \n <\/header>\n\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n

Interim Provost and former Dean of the Sprott School of Business, Jerry Tomberlin, has been selected as the next Provost and Vice-President (Academic) of Carleton University.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cJerry brings remarkable higher education understanding and experience to the role, in addition to vast institutional knowledge of Carleton and exceptional human qualities,\u201d says Carleton President Benoit-Antoine Bacon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe search committee, which was unanimous in its recommendation, emphasized his collegiality, loyalty, fairness and optimism, as well as his total commitment to education and to Carleton.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Provost mandate is for a five-year-term, renewable, and at Tomberlin\u2019s request it will be retroactive to his appointment as Interim Provost on July 1, 2017.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI am honoured to serve Carleton in the Provost role and look forward to rolling up my sleeves and collaborating with colleagues and the broader community in the months and years ahead,\u201d says Tomberlin. \u201cThe office of the Provost will be critical over the next few years as Carleton completes the renewal of its decanal team, adjusts to new fiscal realities and develops our next Strategic Integrated Plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe will also continue to enhance experiential learning opportunities for students, complete the work of the Carleton University Indigenous Strategic Initiatives Committee (CUISIC) and prepare for the next round of Strategic Mandate Agreements with the province.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prior to joining the Sprott School of Business as Dean in 2008, Tomberlin held a variety of positions in the John Molson School of Business at Concordia University in Montreal, including Dean and Associate Dean of Research and Graduate Studies, as well as External Affairs, Department Chair and Academic Director of the MBA program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He has taught internationally at the University of Southampton in England, Baruch College of the City University of New York and l\u2019\u00c9cole Sup\u00e9rieur des Sciences \u00c9conomiques et Commerciales in France. He has also been a member of the AACSB International<\/a> Board of Directors and remains active as a member of the Business Accreditation Policy Committee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He holds an MA and PhD in Statistics from Harvard, a Master of Public Health in Biostatistics from Michigan, and a BS in Mathematics from Florida State. He has published many refereed articles and conference proceedings in the fields of data analysis, statistics, survey design and the impact of academic business research<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tomberlin has provided consulting services to a number of major corporations and organizations, including Clairol Canada, NASA, General Motors, Royal Bank of Canada, the U.S. Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs, Massachusetts Attorney General\u2019s Office, Statistics Canada, Bureau de la statistique du Qu\u00e9bec, and Transports Qu\u00e9bec.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI would like to thank all of the members of Provost search committee for their commitment to this important process, and for their professionalism, collegiality and thoughtful insights,\u201d says President Bacon. \u201cPlease join me in congratulating Jerry on his appointment!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
