MARQUETTE, MI— NMU has a new provost and vice president for Academic Affairs.
Finland native Anne Dahlman most recently served as interim associate provost at Minnesota State University Mankato, where she advanced through the faculty ranks and various leadership positions over the past 17 years.
Dahlman has three master’s degrees and a doctoral degree in curriculum and instruction from the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities. She previously held several teaching positions at higher education institutions in Wisconsin, Finland, Colorado, and Wyoming.
“Northern is a special place with excellent faculty and academic programs, and I look forward to working with all campus members to offer extraordinary educational opportunities for students from all backgrounds,” Dahlman said. “Together we can do great things, and I felt this sense of community when I visited the campus. I believe that Northern can become a model of academic excellence—a North Star—for other regional universities. I'm excited to be part of this work.”
Northern President Brock Tessman said, “Dr. Dahlman brings just the right mix of instructional, research and administrative experience to her role as our new provost. She also stood out during our selection process because of the energy, creativity and vision she will add to Academic Affairs and our leadership team at Northern Michigan University. In short, I am thrilled to welcome Dr. Dahlman to NMU and the Upper Peninsula.”
Dahlman begins her position on April 1st.
