Melinda Treadwell, PhD Named Provost of Antioch University New England
Antioch University is proud to announce that it has named Dr. Melinda Treadwell as provost of Antioch University New England. Antioch University has recently transitioned its vice-president positions to an expanded leadership role of Provost. The change comes as part of the ongoing effort of all Antioch campuses to better serve the needs of their student communities and to meet the changing demands of today’s society.
“I am proud to be a leader at AU because we are a collaborative community with geographic distance but a shared commitment to one another, to our students, to our partners, and to our mission in direct, meaningful ways.” Treadwell adds, “During the next year, I’m most looking forward to continuing Antioch University’s exciting partnerships with Teton Science Schools and Wolf Ridge Environmental Education Center as well as to expanding our educational partnerships and integrated behavioral health systems.”
Dr. Treadwell has a PhD in Toxicology and Pharmacology from Dartmouth Medical School and has previously held leadership positions at Keene State College. She has been a toxicologist and an investigator for institutions such as the National Institute of Health and the Environmental Protection Agency, and has served on numerous scientific advisory boards.
Her experience and credentials are a boon to Antioch University’s mission of supporting environmental justice, and her background in higher education makes her ideal to lead Antioch University New England.
