Dear ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø faculty & staff colleagues,

After more than four years of well-informed and inspiring leadership at ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø, Vice President of Enrollment Management Boyd Bradshaw, Ed.D., has shared that he will be departing ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø effective August 28, 2026. He Will be joining Best Practice Solutions, a national leader in enrollment strategy support, as a principal.

Boyd has served with distinction as ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø’s inaugural VP for enrollment management. Prior to joining ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø in April 2022, he served in a similar leadership role at Indiana University Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI). 

At ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø, he led the development of a strategic enrollment management plan, helping to course-correct a COVID-created dip in enrollment, leading to record classes and admissions applications while at the same time helping to improve the retention and completion rate for ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø students. 

His divisional leadership at ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø has included key functional units — University Admissions, the Academic Advising, Retention & Completion (AARC) Office, the Financial Aid Office, the Tutoring & Learning Center (TLC), the Writing Center, and the Registrar’s Office.  

Although Boyd will be returning to his roots in the Midwest, he will always remain a valued member of our university community, where he became an integral part. I have valued his leadership, counsel and friendship. I know that we all will look forward to welcoming him back to campus and that he will forever be a fan of the Tigers. 

We will immediately begin a national search for ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø’s next VP for Enrollment Management. In the meantime, the Enrollment Management leadership team will report to Provost Melanie Perreault who will oversee the division on an interim basis.

Please join us in thanking Boyd for his outstanding service and many important contributions to ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø and especially our students.

Sincerely,

Mark R. Ginsberg, Ph.D.
President
