Sona Andrews
Selected As New Provost For Boise State University
|

Editor�s note: Dr. Andrews� first name is pronounced �sauna�
Sona Andrews, vice provost for academic affairs at the
University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, has been named the new
provost at Boise State University. Andrews replaces Daryl Jones,
who will retire at the end of June after 18 years as a professor
and administrator at Boise State. Pending State Board of
Education approval, Andrews will assume her new position at
Boise State on August 1.
�Boise State University�s metropolitan mission, quality programs
and talented faculty and staff are a tremendous asset to the
students it serves, the community of Boise and the citizens of
Idaho,� Andrews said. �I am delighted for the opportunity to
contribute to its bright and exciting
future.�
Boise State President Bob Kustra said Andrews is a good choice
for the job. �Dr. Andrews brings energy, intellect and
experience at a metropolitan research university to the job of
provost. She will be a tremendous asset as we work toward our
goals of increasing our research capability, adding new graduate
programs and increasing the quality of the undergraduate
experience.�
Andrews, a geography professor, began teaching at the University
of Minnesota in the 1980s and gained most of her administrative
experience at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, where she
served as assistant vice chancellor, associate vice chancellor
and vice provost. She also served a fellowship with the American
Council on Education. The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee
serves more than 25,000 students at 11 schools and colleges and
its research standing is among the top 102 public universities
in the nation.
