Office of the Provost

Dear VCU Community, It is my honor to welcome you back to campus for VCU’s Spring 2026 semester as your interim provost.

Explore VCU’s November Academic Report featuring major updates to Promotion and Tenure policies, faculty honors, student success highlights, and new learning opportunities. See how faculty voice is shaping institutional change and advancing excellence across teaching, scholarship, and service.

Interim Provost Beverly Warren shares VCU’s revised Promotion and Tenure policies, shaped by faculty input and aligned with R1 standards. The video highlights key updates, including protections for teaching excellence and clearer pathways for Term faculty.

VCU faculty are invited to two open sessions to explore COACHE survey results and next steps. Learn how faculty feedback is shaping institutional priorities, guiding new initiatives, and informing strategic planning across campuses.

Faculty voices are shaping the future of VCU. The COACHE survey results, analyzed by Harvard, offer powerful insights into what’s working and where we can grow. We’re committed to transparency, collaboration, and meaningful action—learn how we’re using this feedback to build a stronger academic community.

Virginia Commonwealth University’s October 2025 Academic Report highlights transformative faculty-led initiatives, national recognition for online learning, and groundbreaking research in health, psychology, and violence prevention.
