Grand Valley Lanthorn reported on Feb. 1 that Ian Davison, dean of the College of Science and Engineering at Central Michigan University, is being considered for the provost position at Grand Valley State University.

Davison is a final candidate being considered by the GVSU search committee who have now narrowed down a list of 75 applicants to four, Grand Valley Lanthorn stated. The position will follow Gayle Davis’s, the current provost at GVSU, retirement at the end of the semester.

On Feb. 6 and 7, Davison visited the campus to give a presentation and answer questions regarding his future vision for GVSU, according to GVSU’s university communications.

Davison has been serving as dean of the College and Science and Engineering at CMU since 2008.

He was the last candidate for the provost position to present. Although Grand Valley Lanthorn reported GVSU President Thomas Haas was to decide no later than Feb. 10, the hiring decision has yet to be announced to the public.
