As Miami University's Provost and Executive Vice President Jason Osborne helped guide the university through the COVID-19 pandemic while also implementing the MiamiRISE aspirational strategic plan designed to position the university for success. Through Boldly Creative initiatives and deep engagement with shared governance, he closed a budget deficit, helped found an Honors College, refreshed and renewed the curriculum, implemented DE&I efforts, invested in research support for faculty, ensured teaching faculty had promotion paths and access to long-term contracts, enhanced local and institutional shared governance, invented a collaborative academic program incubator, and improved student success.

As Dean of the Graduate School, Jason was responsible for expanding graduate and professional education at the Clemson, Greensboro, and Charleston campuses. As a newly designated Carnegie R1, it was important to ensure the university had the right mix of degree programs, and that graduate education was a valued partner in enhancing faculty research. Through a collaborative program incubator process, we helped departments and colleges implement new interdisciplinary degree programs, expanding revenue, and we created GRAD360, a novel professional development enterprise to support graduate student success.

Department chair, Counseling and Human development, University of Louisville
My goal as chair was to ensure we had effective mentoring for all faculty at all ranks and appointment types, and to ensure this department was contributing to UofL's mission. We led efforts throughout campus to ensure inclusive access to restrooms for our LBGTQ+ population, and supported UofL's Carnegie Engaged University classification through the Cardinal Success Program, where we partnered with the City and School district to establish free mental health clinics in the underserved west end. Our novel model included establishing a clinic inside a high school, helping the Academy@Shawnee improve outcomes for students, faculty, and the community. Acknowledging the unique value of this collaboration, the Commonwealth of Kentucky identified this program as worthy of state funding.
