Dear campus community,

One of my favorite things about NDSU is our people and the ability we each have to come together to create meaningful impact. The work we do changes lives every day in the way we provide access to a world-class education, deliver excellent workforce for the state, and generate ground-breaking research.

As interim provost, I am responsible for academic resources and budget, institutional programs, professional faculty matters and the university’s curriculum of instruction. It is a big job and one that I take very seriously, with a lot of support from the professionals around me.

The landscape of higher education is changing, and with that comes the opportunity for NDSU to transform to become even stronger. This transformation will require us to continue to work together to create a sustainable, innovative and meaningful plan.

It is my goal to seek ideas and foster collaboration across the entire campus community. Feedback is always welcome and can be provided in a variety of ways. Schedule a meeting with me to discuss, or send an email to ndsu.provost@ndsu.edu.

I hope you find the information on this website to be helpful and informative.

I am proud to serve as interim provost, and remain committed to making a meaningful impact in the lives of our students, faculty, staff as well as for the state of North Dakota.

Best,

David Bertolini
