Office of the President

Dear Seton Hall Community,

As we approach the start of our 170th-anniversary Opening Weekend, I would like to update you on two developments in University leadership.

Seton Hall’s search for a permanent provost is moving forward; I have charged the Faculty Senate with selecting six faculty to serve as voting members on the search committee for Provost and Executive Vice President. In addition, I will appoint six non-faculty voting members.

The makeup of the search committee is consistent with Article 13 of the Faculty Guide and will be in place after the start of the academic year. I will be back in touch with the full committee roster at that time.

I am also pleased to announce the promotion of Kathleen (Katie) McCarthy, M.B.A. ’17 to Vice President, Enrollment Management, effective September 1.

Katie has excelled in leading the division in an interim capacity for the past 15 months. Throughout her tenure at Seton Hall, she has guided strategic initiatives focused on:

She is also co-leading Seton Hall’s Banner SaaS migration, a significant transition to a cloud-based platform designed to enhance efficiency and integration across academic and administrative operations.

In addition, Katie has been active in the broader Enrollment Management community and has collaborated on numerous technology initiatives, including the implementation of Technolutions Slate for Admissions.

In 2019, she was selected for the College Board’s Enrollment Leadership Academy, a program designed to develop the next generation of enrollment-management leaders.

Please join me in congratulating Katie on her promotion to this crucial role at our University.

I hope you are enjoying the last days of summer and looking forward to the excitement that comes with a new academic year.

Yours truly in the Lord,

Monsignor Joseph Reilly
President
