Office of the Provost

The Office of the Provost works to create a dynamic intellectual environment across Baruch’s three schools where students can succeed and learn from an outstanding faculty, and these faculty can thrive as educators and thought leaders in their respective fields. Our work is animated by the College Strategic Plan, Baruch 2028: Unstoppable.

Dr. Linda Essig serves as the Provost and Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs. In these roles, she guides the work of associate provosts for Learning and Student Success (Dr. Kathleen Gray); Faculty Affairs, Research, and Innovation (Dr. Raquel Fich); Institutional Effectiveness and Accreditation (Dr. Tammie Cumming); and Pedagogy and Online Programs (Dr. Jenny Provo Quarles), as well as the deans of Baruch’s three degree-granting schools and library: the Marxe School of Public and International Affairs, the Weissman School of Arts and Sciences, the Zicklin School of Business, and the William and Anita Newman Library. She works collaboratively with the Vice Presidents of Student Affairs and Enrollment Management to advance student success across the College.
