As the current dean of Harpur College of Arts and Sciences, with a long history of administrative service and a stellar academic background, Nieman is well suited to continue the development of Binghamton\u2019s academic programs and to strengthen the University\u2019s outstanding reputation for undergraduate and graduate education.<\/p>\n<p>After a national search involving exceptionally strong candidates, the Search Committee recommended Nieman for the position. The committee included representatives from a variety of campus groups and gave its unanimous support to Nieman after evaluating all candidates and weighing feedback and support from all constituencies.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn my short time at Binghamton University, I have been impressed by Dean Nieman\u2019s approach to problem solving, his collegial management style and his focus on academic excellence. It will be a great pleasure to work closely with him in his new role as provost,\u201d said Harvey G. Stenger, president of Binghamton University, in making the appointment. Nieman will assume the role of provost effective July 1.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am deeply honored to have the opportunity to serve this great University as provost,\u201d Nieman said. \u201cI look forward to working with an energetic and visionary president as well as terrific vice presidents, deans, faculty, staff, students and alumni to build on Binghamton\u2019s rich tradition of excellence as we strive to become the premier public university of the 21st century.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"http:\/\/www.binghamton.edu\/inside\/index.php\/inside\/story\/donald-nieman-named-provost-of-binghamton-university\">here<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Donald Nieman will become the next provost and vice president for academic affairs at Binghamton University.
