New Provost Christopher M. Duncan calls on the campus community to be courageous, to choose love, faith and hope, and to give themselves over to a cause and to each other as he discusses “Virtue and Vocation: Habits for the Journey” during Wittenberg’s Opening Convocation, Aug. 31, 2011.
As Wittenberg’s second highest-ranking official and its new chief academic officer, Duncan provides intellectual vision and leadership for the academic program and budget, educational policies, academic appointments, and the stimulation of teaching and research.

He has also served as professor and chair of political science at the University of Dayton, and as a political science professor at Mississippi State University.
The author of two books, 19 refereed articles in professional journals, 12 book reviews, three book chapters and a frequent conference presenter, Duncan earned his B.A. in philosophy and political science from the University of Michigan, and his M.A. and Ph.D. in political science with a focus in political theory from Wayne State University.
