No other state can say the same. On Nov. 5, New Hampshire voters will head to the polls to decide whether to continue their independent streak in national, statewide and local elections.

Provost David Kotz ’86 first arrived in Hanover as an undergraduate more than 40 years ago and has barely left since. After graduating from the College in 1986 with a degree in computer science and physics, Kotz earned his Ph.D at Duke in 1991 and returned to the College to teach later that year. He has risen through academia and administration in the decades since. In July 2021, former College President Phil Hanlon appointed Kotz interim provost, a post that became permanent in January 2022. His role makes him Dartmouth’s chief academic and budget officer. During his time as Provost, Kotz has continued to advise graduate students, serving as the Pat and John Rosenwald Professor of Computer Science. Kotz announced that he will conclude his tenure as provost this June after almost three years in office, returning full-time to the computer science department following a year-long sabbatical. The Dartmouth sat down with Kotz to discuss his life and career at the College.
