About
Sara Blair, vice provost for Academic and Faculty Affairs, Arts, and Humanities, provides strategic leadership at the university level for the Arts Initiative and other key program offerings and initiatives in the arts and humanities.
The vice provost fosters campus-wide understanding of the humanities—a set of academic disciplines and practices centering interpretive activity—and the arts—practices of creative expression with their own disciplinary traditions—as well as of their shared and critical importance to the University’s mission. The creation of this vice provost role recognizes the value of both the humanities and the arts in the committed pursuit of campus-wide Vision 2034 impact areas: transformational learning and education, well-being and thriving, flourishing democracy, and sustainability and environmental justice. More broadly, this portfolio speaks to the ongoing importance of the humanities and the arts for the robust interdisciplinarity that will enable human-centered responses to urgent challenges.
