Division of Extension and Engagement and OSU Extension Service Leadership

Jan. 31, 2024

Dear Colleagues,

I am writing to share that Vice Provost for Extension and Engagement and Director of the OSU Extension Service Dr. Ivory Lyles has let us know that he has had to step away from work for a period to attend to an important family matter. Associate Director for OSU Extension Dr. Kris Elliott has agreed to as acting vice provost and director during his leave.

I am confident that the Division of Extension and Engagement will continue to thrive during this period. Dr. Elliott will return to his associate director role when Dr. Lyles returns to OSU.

Edward Feser

Provost and Executive Vice President
