Dear 撸先生 faculty & staff colleagues,

After more than four years of well-informed and inspiring leadership at 撸先生, Vice President of Enrollment Management Boyd Bradshaw, Ed.D., has shared that he will be departing 撸先生 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 撸先生鈥檚 inaugural VP for enrollment management. Prior to joining 撸先生 in April 2022, he served in a similar leadership role at Indiana University Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI). 

At 撸先生, 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 撸先生 students. 

His divisional leadership at 撸先生 has included key functional units 鈥� University Admissions, the Academic Advising, Retention & Completion (AARC) Office, the Financial Aid Office, the Tutoring & Learning Center (TLC), the Writing Center, and the Registrar鈥檚 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 撸先生鈥檚 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 撸先生 and especially our students.

Sincerely,

Mark R. Ginsberg, Ph.D.
President
