About The Provost Office
Gigi Meyer Escoe
Vice Provost for Undergraduate Affairs
The Vice Provost for Undergraduate Affairs is responsible for leading and coordinating all academic aspects of the undergraduate experience. This office works closely with senior administrators responsible for undergraduate affairs in each of UC’s undergraduate colleges and the Associate Vice Provost for Enrollment Management and the Senior Vice Provost for Academic Planning. The Vice Provost for Undergraduate Affairs seeks to realize the unique opportunities that are present when a research university makes a strong commitment to quality undergraduate teaching and learning and to further develop the university’s undergraduate vision, Integrated Core Learning (ICL). ICL calls for the thoughtful integration of the general education core, major course work, experiential learning, co-curricular activities, and faculty-guided student reflection throughout a highly interdisciplinary and contextually rich undergraduate experience. The Vice Provost acts as the primary liaison for UC undergraduate education to students, faculty, other campus constituencies, and external audiences.
