Vice Provost for Undergraduate Education

Vice Provost for Undergraduate Education Gary G. Bennett  provides strategic vision and leadership for the many facets of the undergraduate educational experience, including academic, co-curricular, and residential aspects of Duke student life.  Working closely with the president, provost, senior administrators, faculty, and students, Dr. Bennett develops and articulates Duke's vision of a transformative undergraduate experience designed to prepare students to become engaged global citizens and leaders in the 21st century.  

The vice provost for undergraduate education also directs the Office of Undergraduate Education (OUE), a 100-person unit that delivers on Duke’s promise of a transformative, holistic undergraduate experience for students across Duke's four undergraduate schools: Trinity College of Arts & Sciences, the Pratt School of Engineering, the Sanford School of Public Policy and the Nicholas School of the Environment.
