INSIGHT Provost Lecture Series brings innovative voices to campus This year's Provost Lecture Series brings three women with powerful voices to the Emory campus to speak on topics ranging from music's ability to move us toward greater justice to gendered conversational styles to improving the American health system.

Baumgart has been appointed assistant vice provost for faculty success and recognition to further enhance and expand the support faculty require in receiving acknowledgement for their teaching, research and scholarship.
