Kim Mallarnee Coplin ’85, associate professor of physics and astronomy, was appointed interim provost at Denison in 2013, as the college worked to replace former Provost Brad Bateman, who left Denison to assume the presidency at Randolph College in Lynchburg, Va. In August, the college announced that Coplin would permanently assume the role of provost after a private search consultant conducted interviews with Coplin, faculty, staff, and board members, subsequently recommending the appointment. Coplin joined Denison’s faculty in 1993 and served the college as associate provost from 2006 to 2013. She holds a Master of Arts degree from Johns Hopkins University and a doctorate in physics from Ohio State University.
