S. Keith Hargrove was appointed provost and vice president for academic affairs at historically Black Tuskegee University in Alabama. Dr. Hargrove has been serving as dean of the College of Engineering at Tennessee State University. He will begin his new role on January 1.

Earlier, he was assistant to the dean and associate professor of mechanical engineering in the College of Engineering, Architecture & Physical Sciences at Tuskegee University.
“I am deeply honored and humbled to return to Tuskegee University and serve in this leadership role that impacts academic programs, support faculty, and the engagement of students for success beyond their college experience,” said Dr. Hargrove.
Dr. Hargrove holds a bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering from Tennessee State University. He received a master’s degree from the Missouri University of Science & Technology in Rolla, and a Ph.D. from the University of Iowa.
