Office of the Provost and Dean
The Provost Office is directly responsible for overseeing faculty, students and administrators in all phases of service, teaching and research.
Our office provides faculty, staff, and students with the support needed to be highly successful in all aspects of academia; whether that be offering data through institutional research, overseeing implementation of operating salary and capital budgets, or providing students with the close connections Washington College strives to achieve.
Please note that forms and documents specifically for faculty are now located on the secure Faculty Admin SharePoint Site.
How We Are Spending Our Summer Vacation
Rethinking the Fall Academic Calendar
The College is making plans to reopen campus to students and faculty, with a hybrid blend of in-person and online classes slated to begin August 24.
There will be no fall break, and classes will end on Nov. 24. Exams, final projects, and any other end-of-the-semester work will be completed online during the week of Nov. 30 – Dec. 4.
WC Response to COVID-19
Liberal Arts Learning in a Time of Uncertainty
This online summer course, created by professors Sara Clarke-Vivier (education) and Ben Tilghman (art and art history), examines the COVID-19 pandemic from an interdisciplinary perspective to help first-year students think creatively about how to address a public health crisis. The course runs seven weeks, beginning July 6. Two credits; no fee.
Summer Advising
With the support of Assistant Registrar Rachelle Marks and several department chairs, faculty are conducting summer advising online for incoming students.
