Purdue has recently announced a new position that will intensify the already existing outreach programs of the University.

Provost Sally Frost Mason announced Friday that the new vice provost for engagement position will help Purdue's programs become better known throughout the state.

The new vice provost, Don Gentry, will step down from his 14 year position as Dean of the School of Technology and resume the position that he said he is "really excited" about. The position will be effective Aug. 1.

In a press release, Frost Mason said Gentry will work with various aspects of Indiana to expand state opportunities by working with governmental leaders and businesses as well as community members to emphasize Purdue's role as an educational leader.
