Dear University Community:
It is my great pleasure to announce the
appointment of Donald Pope-Davis, Ph.D., as Provost of DePaul
University. Don is an accomplished leader, teacher and scholar, and we
are happy to welcome him to DePaul.
Don brings 35 years of higher education
administrative experience and 30 years of faculty experience to DePaul.
He joins us from the University of Notre Dame, where he is the vice
president and associate provost. In his current role, which he has held
since 2007, he leads and manages the faculty recruitment and hiring
process, tenure and promotions, mentoring programs for faculty and new
programs to prepare faculty leaders to carry out administrative tasks.
Prior to serving as associate provost, Don held senior administrative
roles in the Notre Dame Graduate School for five years, including
interim dean.

A nationally recognized
scholar with a passion for teaching, Don is a professor in the
Counseling Psychology Program in the Department of Psychology at Notre
Dame. Recognized in 2008 by the Journal of Counseling Psychology as
the third leading contributor to the field of multicultural counseling,
his research interests include cultural and racial identity
development and cultural competency training. He has published
extensively in academic journals, authored three books and is a
research fellow in the American Psychological Association. He recently
co-authored the first national survey of African American Catholics, an
unprecedented study that revealed significant demographic trends in
the church.
Don earned his bachelor’s degree in psychology
from Benedictine University and his doctorate in counseling psychology
from Stanford University. He is one of 12 children. He and his
wife, Sara, have three children, David, Daniel and Gabrielle. To learn
more about Don, please see his CV and letter to the DePaul community. A Newsline story is also available.
In his new role at DePaul, effective July, Don
will serve as chief academic officer. Responsible for the
intellectual life of our university, he will oversee Academic Affairs,
Enrollment Management and Marketing, and Student Affairs. Everyone at
DePaul was moved by his dedication to students, especially those who
are the first to attend college in their families.
I would like to thank the search committee,
chaired by Board of Trustees Member and Alumna Connie Curran. The
committee devoted countless hours to conduct a vigorous nationwide
search over the course of several months. I am extremely grateful to
them.
When I spoke to Don, he expressed his deep
respect for the university’s academic achievements, commitment to
diversity and its Catholic-Vincentian identity. We look forward to
welcoming him to the DePaul family.
Respectfully,
Rev. Dennis H. Holtschneider, C.M.
President
