Following a nationwide search, Sinclair University has appointed Dr. Marcus Thorne as provost. He will oversee academic affairs, curricular planning, and faculty support across the university.
Dr. Thorne brings a record of faculty leadership, interdisciplinary planning, and student-focused academic administration to Sinclair.
His appointment reflects the university's continued investment in teaching quality, research support, and curricular pathways that connect closely to student advising and career preparation.
“Sinclair stands out because it still believes that academic seriousness and personal attention belong together. I am honored to help guide that work.”
