Coker College has new Provost

There have been a lot of personnel searches going on across the Coker College campus this year and perhaps the most important is that of the new provost or Dean of the Faculty (the boss). Dr. Tracy Parkinson is the new Provost and he is coming to Coker from King College in Bristol, TN. He will begin with the new academic year in July.

Dr. Pat Lincoln, professor of Biology, has been serving for the past few years as the Dean of the Faculty and Provost and she is retiring this year. She has served the Provost role well and has positioned Coker, along with Dr. Wyatt, for dynamic growth in the next few years. She will be talking to the Coker community and others as she presents the final of the Last Lectures in our new Last Lecture Series on Monday night, April 18 at 7:30.
