Two search-and-screen committees are taking shape as UW-Madison looks to begin compiling and then narrowing a list of qualified candidates for the positions of university's provost and dean of international studies.
While the search group for the international studies dean has been completed, the national search-and-screen committee for the provost still needs two students. Students applications are still being accepted committee posts.
David Trubek is resigning from his position as international studies dean July 31 to head the Center for World Affairs and the Global Economy at UW-Madison. Former Provost John Wiley left his position to become chancellor of the university Jan. 1.
Interim Provost Gary Sandefur has said he would not seek to permanently hold the position.

Alta Charo; French and Italian Professor Christopher Kleinhenz; School of Nursing, Academic Affairs Assistant Dean Sharon Nellis; psychology, psychiatry and pediatrics Assistant Professor Seth Pollak; College of Engineering Program Assistant Diane Randall; theater and drama Senior Administrative Program Specialist Barry Robinson; and astronomy Assistant Professor Eric Wilcots.

Other members include: oncology Professor Richard Burgess, Academic Staff Executive Committee member Gregory Iaccarino, law school Assistant Professor Heinz Klug, College of Letters and Science Associate Dean Mary Ann Fitzpatrick, pediatrics Professor Lewis Leavitt, student representative Adam Goldstein, Biological Systems Engineering academic department Supervisor Candace Pharo, School of Business academic staff representative Susan Huber Miller, International Agriculture Programs Director Kenneth Shapiro, African languages and literature Professor Linda Hunter and associate history Professor Thongchai Winichakul.
