Ohio University Executive Vice President and Provost Elizabeth Sayrs' contract renewed through 2024

Ohio University President Hugh Sherman has renewed Executive Vice President and Provost Elizabeth Sayrs’ contract for an additional year, through June 2024.  

“In order to provide stability to our University during this time of transition, I have extended Elizabeth’s appointment as Executive Vice President and Provost for an additional year,” President Sherman said. “Under her leadership, we successfully reimagined OHIO’s general education program, developed a leading edge student support program, and implemented a system-wide approach to regional higher education, allowing the University to meet student demand more efficiently.” 

In March 2020, Sayrs was named executive vice president and provost for a three-year term by President Emeritus M. Duane Nellis. 

At the conclusion of her term and in accordance with the Faculty Handbook, OHIO will undertake a search for this position.
