Calvin University selected Noah Toly to become its next provost.
He will assume his new position on July 1, replacing Cheryl Brandsen, who will be retiring after serving as provost since 2014. Toly will be formally installed as provost during the university’s fall convocation ceremony in late August.
“We are delighted to welcome Noah to Calvin,” said Calvin President Michael Le Roy, who appointed Toly following the search committee’s recommendation. “He is an accomplished academic, a deeply committed Christian and is enthusiastic about the Calvin community and the reformed faith. His teaching, scholarship and community engagement represent his commitment to seeking understanding and promoting the flourishing of all people, which is what we are aspiring to as well at Calvin — to be a trusted partner.”
