This position provides transformative leadership to develop and implement university-wide enrollment strategies for PGPs, aligning with Virginia Tech’s institutional mission and workforce development goals, particularly in the Greater Washington, D.C. metro area.

The Assistant Vice Provost collaborates with academic leaders, including the vice president and executive director of the Virginia Tech Innovation Campus, deans, department heads, vice provosts and other senior leaders to advance PGP enrollment and high-quality professionally oriented graduate programs and credentials.
