Since joining NDNU in 1993 as a Professor of Mathematics, Dr. Greg White has served in numerous academic and administrative leadership roles, including Department Chair, Director of Institutional Research, Interim Dean, Assistant Provost, Associate Provost, Interim Provost, Vice President for Academic Affairs, Chief Financial Officer, and ultimately Provost and Senior Vice President.
During his tenure, Dr. White has been a driving force behind many of the university’s most significant milestones. He co-led NDNU’s transformation from a comprehensive university to a primarily graduate institution, spearheaded multiple successful accreditation reaffirmations with the WASC Senior College and University Commission (WSCUC), and authored federal and foundation grant proposals that brought in more than $14 million in funding — including the largest grants in NDNU’s history. These funds supported new programs, expanded student services, and financed major renovations to science labs, classrooms, and public spaces.
