Starrett as SUNY Fredonia’s new Executive Vice President and Provost, effective August 15, 2021. The appointment includes a concurrent tenured position as Professor in the Department of Biology. I am looking forward to working with Dr. Starrett and the faculty and staff as we go forward in the university’s next chapter. His background in the natural sciences, and his extensive research, teaching, and academic leadership experience make him highly qualified to assume this role. Also, Fredonia’s potential for future growth throughout the university, especially in the areas of science and technology, made Dr. Starrett’s selection very compelling and highly strategic.
