Background
OSU’s Office of the Provost and Executive Vice President launched a nationwide search for a chancellor and dean to lead OSU-Cascades in September 2022. A search advisory committee process for this position is led by Toni Doolen, dean of the OSU Honors College. The committee includes six members of OSU-Cascades faculty and staff, as well as a member of the campus’s Advocacy and Advisory Board and a student representative. The position, formerly known as “vice president,’’ will report to OSU Provost Edward Feser. Andrew Ketsdever has served as OSU-Cascades’ interim leader since former vice president Becky Johnson was named to serve as OSU’s interim president from May 2021 to September 2022. The position’s new title was determined to reflect the position’s role at OSU-Cascades, as well as within OSU.
