Biography

Joseph Ward grew up in Southern New England, seeing massive upheaval from the loss of manufacturing jobs, a change he later credited for his interest in history.[1] Ward earned his Bachelor of Arts in history at University of Chicago and received a masters and a doctorate in history from Stanford University.[2][3] In 2017 he was made[4] the head of the search committee for Utah State's next provost, a position previously held by current president Noelle E. Cockett. That search eventually led to hiring of Frank Galey.[5][6]
