Provost William C. Gordon

Wake Forest University (NC) Provost William C. Gordon has announced his plans to step down at the end of this academic year. Gordon, who joined WFU in 2002, currently serves as co-chair of the council for the university’s strategic planning process, which began this past spring.

By the time Gordon steps down, he says, “the major steps in our strategic planning process will have been completed, and an experienced Planning Council will be preparing to assemble the final version of our university plan.” After a leave of absence, Gordon will transition to a faculty role at WFU.
