Purdue’s acting-president is entering his final week leading the university. Dr. Tim Sands returns to the provost’s office January 15, when Mitch Daniels officially begins his term as president.
Sands says he’s learned many things about Purdue through meetings with lawmakers, the state’s business leaders and alumni. He expects that to serve him well as he returns to the job of chief academic officer.
He says he’s prepared for job offers from other universities, but made a commitment to serve Purdue for the immediate future. Sands has served as provost since April, 2010.
