Dr. Linda Rinker, Provost and V.P. for Academic Affairs
Welcome to the office of the Provost/Vice President for Academic Affairs. In this job, I am second in authority to the president of the university – but my first job is to serve both undergraduate and graduate students and make sure that they get the most out of their academic career at WestConn.
On a day-to-day basis, I work on development of curriculum and faculty, outreach to the community, research opportunities, and make connections with public schools. I am also involved in statewide projects to develop educational opportunities and programs, such as the new kindergarten through fifth-grade magnet school that opened on our Westside campus this year.
I work closely with the Deans of the schools, the registrar's office, the Enrollment Management Officer, the Director of the Library, and the Director of Grants & Research, so I have a hand in nearly everything a student might be involved with at WestConn.
Please contact me if you have a concern or need help with a problem. I will be glad to assist you.
And please read through the rest of the Academic Affairs Webpage to see all we offer you at WestConn.
