UW-Green Bay Provost Julia Wallace resigns

Julia Wallace, the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay’s Provost and Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs, has submitted her resignation as provost and vice chancellor, effective immediately.

Wallace had been in her position at UW-Green Bay since July 2009, when she was appointed by former Chancellor Tom Harden following a nationwide search. Wallace previously had served as vice president and provost of Central Michigan University; and prior to that, spent more than two decades as a professor, department chair and dean at the University of Northern Iowa. She holds a bachelor’s degree in psychology from the State University of New York College at Oswego, and a master’s degree and Ph.D. in experimental psychology from the State University of New York at Binghamton.

UW-Green Bay Chancellor Gary L. Miller announced Wallace’s resignation in an all-campus email Tuesday morning, Sept. 23. For the immediate future, he said, Chief-of-Staff Dan Spielmann will direct the day-to-day operations of the Office of the Provost in collaboration with Associate Provost Greg Davis and other direct reports to the Provost.

“I hope you will join me,” Miller wrote, “in extending our deep gratitude to her for her service to this great institution.”
