There are also many special initiatives, activities, and projects that are managed through the Office of the Provost:

• The Honors Program;

• Student Learning Outcomes Assessment;
• Summer Programs and Special Sessions;
• The Caribbean Exploratory Research Center (CERC), funded by the National Institutes of Health;

Deans of the Colleges and Schools, Directors of the various programs, and other administrators comprise the Provost's administrative team. Together they work to ensure that strategic goals focusing on academic quality and excellence, student development and student success, and community engagement and globalization are achieved.
