MOSCOW, ID — The University of Idaho has named Brooke Blevins interim provost and executive vice president, effective immediately.

Blevins has served as dean of the College of Education, Health and Human Sciences since 2022, where she helped expand educational programs, partnerships and research efforts.

“Brooke is a thoughtful, collaborative leader who understands the importance of student success, academic excellence and strong partnerships across Idaho,” University President Scott Green said in a news release.
