Whitworth University Announces Three New Appointments to the Provost’s Office
Tim Caldwell, Vice Provost of Student Affairs & Dean of Students
Tim Caldwell has been guiding our students for more than a decade and has been appointed to vice
provost & dean of students. Caldwell was a resident director from 2004-07. After several years away, Caldwell returned to Whitworth in 2015 as director of residence life and was later promoted to assistant dean for student life and then associate dean for student life, community standards & compliance. In those roles, he provided supervisory oversight of the Center for Career & Professional Development and the Dornsife Center for Community Engagement. He also oversaw the student conduct system, co-led the student crisis response and threat assessment teams, served as Title IX deputy coordinator, was a member of the Student Success Team, and served on numerous campus committees. At the close of the 2023-24 academic year, he was asked to oversee campus-wide efforts to improve student retention rates. His efforts were successful as Whitworth experienced an 8 percent increase in retention in one year.

School while simultaneously serving Whitworth as a clinical faculty member and senior lecturer. She went on to become an associate professor of education before being appointed director of Whitworth’s Teacher Certification Program in 2016.
In 2022, Hill was promoted to associate provost of academic affairs, and in 2023 she assumed the additional role of registrar.
