University of Tennessee at Chattanooga Vice Provost Matt Matthews has been selected as the UT System’s new associate vice president for Academic Affairs, effective in mid-August.<\/p>\n

UTC Provost and Senior Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs Jerold L. Hale shared the news with faculty and staff through a campuswide announcement.<\/p>\n

In his new role, Matthews will report to UT System Vice President for Academic Affairs, Research and Student Success Bernie Savarese. His responsibilities at the system level will encompass new academic programs, major program revisions at all campuses, tenure and promotion of faculty, and handbook revisions and changes to policies that affect faculty.<\/p>\n

Although Matthews will be relocating to Knoxville, \u201cI am pleased to note that he will maintain close connections with all of the five UT System campuses, ensuring a continued strong relationship with UTC,\u201d Hale wrote in his campus announcement.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is certainly not the end of my time with UTC; it\u2019s just that I will have similar interactions with four other campuses. It\u2019s the beginning of a new way that I will work with UTC,\u201d Matthews said. \u201cI am hoping to provide a representative at the system level who has lived on campus and understands what that academic and faculty affairs relationship looks like.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis position hasn\u2019t existed before at the system level and will play a key role in maintaining a connection with each of the campuses.\u201d<\/p>\n

Matthews recently marked his 20th year on the UTC campus, having joined the University faculty in 2004 as an assistant professor of mathematics. He rose to interim department head in 2014; by 2016, he had become a full professor and had been appointed associate dean of the College of Arts and Sciences.<\/p>\n

In 2018, he assumed the role of interim vice provost, a position he officially took on in 2020.<\/p>\n

Hale called Matthews \u201ca leader of collaborations,\u201d noting that partnerships he championed in his vice provost role directly led to\u2014among other things\u2014significant updates to the UTC Faculty Handbook on the faculty tenure system and the critical roles of non-tenure-track faculty members; revisions to the University\u2019s degree requirements; and the first substantive changes to the faculty evaluation process.<\/p>\n

\u201cHis impact on our campus in various leadership roles has been profound and will have lasting effects on generations of faculty members and students,\u201d Hale said.<\/p>\n

The provost highlighted the pivotal role Matthews played as co-chair of the committee charged with implementing COVID-19 health and safety protocols, saying, \u201che personally visited every classroom on campus to ensure UTC was compliant with CDC recommendations for social distancing, contributing significantly to our community\u2019s safety.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOn a personal note, while this transition brings a mix of emotions, it is also an exciting step for Matt,\u201d Hale said. \u201cOver the five years we have worked together, he has become not only a valued colleague but also a cherished friend. His advice, camaraderie and dedication will be greatly missed.<\/p>\n

\u201cMatt\u2019s potential is boundless, and I am confident that he will excel in his new position. Though we will miss his day-to-day interactions dearly, we recognize that this opportunity is essential for his professional growth and for making a broader impact across the entire UT System.\u201d<\/p>\n

UTC Vice Provost Lauren Ingraham echoed Hale\u2019s sentiments.<\/p>\n

\u201cOn the one hand, he\u2019s incredibly well situated to take on that work based on his experience at UTC,\u201d Ingraham said. \u201cOn the other hand, I will deeply miss daily interactions with this fundamentally good man.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ingraham said she knew of Matthews when she first joined Academic Affairs in 2019, but they had never formally been introduced. When she showed up at Academic Affairs\u2019 Hooper Hall suite, \u201che stepped out of a meeting to show me around and patiently introduced me to my new colleagues, most of whom I didn\u2019t know.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOver the years, I have witnessed him being exceptionally kind to folks who need a little break or grace. When he has to deliver disappointing news, he does it with sensitivity, kindness and lots of data,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe has my very best wishes as he moves into this new role, and I\u2019m so glad that we\u2019ll still run into each other at UT System meetings. It\u2019s been a joy to work with him for six years. I\u2019m very excited to watch and support him as he moves into this role.\u201d<\/p>\n

Vice Provost Shewanee Howard-Baptiste said that Matthews had long been known as a thoughtful and supportive colleague before she joined Academic Affairs in 2021.<\/p>\n

\u201cMore than one person would always reference him as a great point of contact for any administrative question or idea,\u201d Howard-Baptiste recalled. \u201cMatt always welcomes colleagues to connect for coffee or lunch, and many people\u2014self-included\u2014become friends. He is trustworthy, kind and works very hard behind the scenes to create a campus we can all be proud of. I\u2019ll be cheering him on in his new role and look forward to our paths crossing again.\u201d<\/p>\n

Reflecting on his time at UTC, Matthews said he grew as a leader, administrator and human being, becoming a \u201cmuch better person for all the time and experiences I\u2019ve had\u201d at UTC.<\/p>\n

\u201cPart of what\u2019s made this decision difficult is that it\u2019s tough for me to walk across campus and not just stop and have a conversation with somebody that I know\u2014whether it\u2019s a student, a former student, a faculty member, a staff member,\u201d Matthews said. \u201cKnowing that I\u2019m leaving part of that behind has been one of the most complex parts of this whole process.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have good friends and colleagues at UTC. While I hope I\u2019ll be building similar relationships elsewhere, it is difficult to walk away from a place you know and love as much as our campus.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
