New Title, Responsibilities for Assistant Provost

The University of Scranton has appointed Richard A. Walsh as assistant provost for operations and data analytics officer. Walsh, who served as assistant provost for operations at Scranton since 2014, will now have additional responsibilities through a restructuring of the University’s Office of Institutional Research, which he will now oversee. The office, now named the Office of Institutional Reporting and Data Analytics, will focus on data analytics and other sophisticated data mining approaches, in addition to its other research and reporting functions.

Walsh joined the University staff in 1998 as a software/database development and computer programming instructor at the University’s Center for Professional Training and Development. During his 20 years of service at the University, he also worked in the University’s Registrar’s Office and, most recently, in the Office of the Provost.

Walsh earned his bachelor’s degree from Marywood University and his M.B.A. from The University of Scranton.
