Provost announces national search, interim vice provost for enrollment management

Provost Patrick Wolfe announced today (May 3) that he has appointed Cherise Hall, vice provost for finance and strategic initiatives, to serve as interim vice provost for enrollment management, effective June 1.

Wolfe also announced that a national search will be launched for the next vice provost for enrollment management, to succeed Kris Wong Davis, who leaves Purdue in June for Carnegie-Mellon University.

“The strong demand for a Purdue education continues to grow,” Wolfe said. “There are few roles more vital to our strategically focused efforts toward student success at Purdue University than this one, and we will seek out a thoughtful, talented and impactful leader to lead enrollment management into the future.”

Hall, a graduate of Purdue’s Department of Agricultural Economics, has worked in various strategic roles across Purdue for over two decades, having held positions such as the director of financial affairs for the College of Agriculture before taking on her current role in the Office of the Provost.
