Message from Provost Neilson: Keeping up with email communication has always been a challenge, but over the past 4 months with everything going on with COVID-19, I am finding it impossible to stay on top of emails and respond in a timely manner. To remedy this, we have created a new email address, provost@callutheran.edu. Emails that come to this address will be accessible to me and to the staff in the Provost’s Office. Many of the emails that I receive can be answered by others, and I often forward emails to others for responses. This new email address will speed up our ability to respond to you. If you have a personal or confidential message that is meant only for me to see, then you should send it to neilson@callutheran.edu. All other emails should go to provost@callutheran.edu and you will hear back from one of us in the office. If you are waiting for a response to an email that you sent to me in the past few months, please feel free to forward that email to provost@callutheran.edu.
