BLOOMINGTON, Ind. -- David Johnson, who has served as an associate vice provost in the Indiana University Bloomington Office of Enrollment Management since 2007, has been appointed interim vice provost for enrollment management, Provost and Executive Vice President Karen Hanson announced today (May 28). Johnson will assume the duties of Roger Thompson, who will begin a position as vice provost for enrollment management at the University of Oregon.
"The entire campus community is enormously grateful to Roger for the outstanding job he has done in leading the Office of Enrollment Management," said Hanson. "During his tenure, the quality and diversity of the student body have increased significantly. Overall enrollment increased, average SAT scores for incoming freshmen reached record levels, enrollment of minority students increased, and Indiana's most academically talented students chose IU Bloomington in record numbers."
