Stephen Sprang took on a new list of duties Monday as he accepted the half-time position of The University of Montana's new associate provost and dean of the graduate school.
He will also continue his roles as a professor in UM's Division of Biological Sciences and as the director of the University's Center for Biomolecular Structure and Dynamics.
During open forums with the candidates last month, Sprang said he wants to strengthen graduate education by restructuring the program to more efficiently use funds and other resources that he acknowledges are unlikely to grow.
