Bruce Duthu, chair of the Native American studies program, will lead the advisory committee tasked with finding Dartmouth's next provost, President-elect Phil Hanlon said in an email to campus Thursday afternoon.
Until the search is complete, interim provost Martin Wybourne will continue in his position.
"I'm looking forward to working with Martin, whose deep understanding of Dartmouth's academic and research enterprise will continue to serve us well," Hanlon said in the email.
The committee also comprises Dean of Admissions and Financial Aid Maria Laskaris and six members of the faculty. Two students, Nia Foney '15 and John O'Toole Tu'14, will also serve on the committee.
Faculty members on the committee are government department chair John Carey, engineering professor Tillman Gerngross, Tuck professor Robert Hansen, Geisel professor Yolanda Sanchez, English professor Barbara Will, and math and computer science professor Peter Winkler.
The College has also hired the firm Isaacson, Miller as search consultants for the process.
Hanlon invited members of the Dartmouth community to submit provost nominations and other comments on the process to a special email account for the search, Provost.Search@Dartmouth.edu.
