Georgia Southern names Tim Shuey associate provost for academic resource management
Georgia Southern University has appointed Timothy L. Shuey as associate provost for academic resource management, effective November 2025.
In this role, Shuey will provide strategic oversight of financial planning, budgeting and resource allocation for Academic Affairs. He will collaborate closely with deans, academic leadership and administrative partners to ensure alignment of resources with the University’s strategic mission, enrollment growth and commitment to student success.
Shuey joins Georgia Southern from Appalachian State University, where he served as associate vice provost for resource management. In that role, he oversaw more than $150 million in operating budgets, led cross-functional teams in financial process improvement, and advanced institutional initiatives focused on efficiency, transparency and long-range fiscal sustainability.
Shuey brings more than 25 years of higher education and financial leadership experience to the position, previously serving as vice president for fiscal affairs and chief financial officer at Commonwealth University of Pennsylvania, vice president for finance and administration at Gardner-Webb University, and in multiple senior financial roles at The Pennsylvania State University, where he managed complex operational and research budgets totaling more than $250 million. His expertise spans financial and operational leadership, budget model design, organizational change management, and the application of emerging technologies — such as artificial intelligence — to improve institutional processes and reporting.
“Tim brings an exceptional combination of financial acumen, strategic vision and collaborative leadership,” said Avinandan Mukherjee, Ph.D., provost and executive vice president for Academic Affairs. “His record of success in optimizing resources and driving financial sustainability and growth across complex academic organizations makes him the ideal partner to help advance Georgia Southern’s mission of academic excellence and student success.”
A certified public accountant in Maryland, Shuey holds a Master of Business Administration and dual bachelor’s degrees in accounting and hotel, restaurant and institutional management from The Pennsylvania State University. He is currently a doctoral candidate in business administration (accounting) at Marshall University.
“I am honored to join Georgia Southern University and contribute to an institution that is both forward-thinking and student-centered,” said Shuey. “I look forward to partnering with faculty, staff and campus leaders to build on Georgia Southern’s strong foundation of academic integrity, operational excellence and service to its communities.”
Shuey’s professional affiliations include the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, the Maryland Association of Certified Public Accountants and the Penn State Alumni Association. He also serves on the board of directors for Haven of Hope Global Ministries.
