Brockport hires new provost
Brockport hires new provost
Katy Heyning, a dean at the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater, has been hired to become the next provost and vice president for academic affairs at the State College at Brockport.
Heyning will take over in June from Interim Provost James Haynes.
During her time as dean and associate dean of education and professional studies at UW, Heyning oversaw creation of a professional master’s degree and started partnerships between the university and Ecuador, Mexico and China.
“She brings a wealth of experience in higher education leadership, including on a national stage in her work on teacher education preparation,” said Brockport President Heidi Macpherson. “Her focus on community engagement matches Brockport’s vision of building meaningful lives and vibrant communities, and I’m looking forward to seeing how she will continue to enhance our rich academic programs and work in partnership across divisions and schools.”
Heyning’s previous positions included leadership in curriculum and instruction, teaching at the University of Arizona and teaching fifth grade in Highland Park, Illinois.
Heyning said “Throughout the interview process (at Brockport) I was consistently impressed with the many accomplishments, supportive leadership, and sense of community that was evident across all levels.”
