The Provost Office is responsible for Concordia’s academic endeavors, from the time a prospective student seeks information about an academic program to when that student becomes an alum of Concordia. The Provost Office coordinates the work of the faculty in developing, teaching and assessing academic programs. It also coordinates the work of our student academic support services. Finally, it oversees the delivery of academic programs at the university’s two campuses (Mequon, WI, and Ann Arbor, MI), its centers, and online.
Leah Dvorak (Ph.D, Anatomy) is Interim Provost of the university. Her most important responsibility is to ensure the implementation of Concordia’s mission in all of its academic endeavors. Her team of faculty and staff members work to service our constituencies to provide excellent Christian education from a Lutheran perspective.
