Texas Tech University Selects Dean for Costa Rica Campus

Jeffrey Belnap, provost and senior vice president of the American University of Afghanistan, Kabul, will begin his new role Aug. 1.

Jeffrey Belnap, provost and senior vice president of the American University of Afghanistan, Kabul, has been named dean of Texas Tech University at Costa Rica (TTU-CR), the institution’s first international campus. Belnap will begin his duties Aug. 1 and will be the first in the role at TTU-CR, which welcomed the inaugural class of students in August 2018.

Belnap was one of four candidates chosen from a large pool who were interviewed. His extensive administrative experience in dean- and provost-level positions, particularly with international campuses, made him a strong choice.

“From a strong pool of candidates, Dr. Belnap emerged as the top choice because of his extensive background and prior experience in international education,” said Texas Tech President Lawrence Schovanec. “The interview in San Jose with faculty, students and our partners with EDULINK only served to confirm his selection. Dr. Belnap complements the vision we have for our program in Costa Rica, and we expect that his strong leadership will pay dividends for many years to come.”
