Pratt Institute names Kirk E. Pillow as next provost
To replace Peter Barna in July
Pratt Institute President Thomas F. Schutte announced on Wednesday that Kirk E. Pillow will become its next provost.
Pratt, which prepares students for careers in the arts, is located in Clinton Hill, Brooklyn, with a satellite campus at 14th Street in Manhattan. The school was founded in 1887. Notable alumni include fashion designer Betsey Johnson; William Van Alen, the architect of the Chrysler Building; and actor Robert Redford.
Pillow will replace Pratt’s current provost, Peter Barna, in July. Barna announced in January that he would be returning to the faculty after a yearlong sabbatical. Barna has served as Pratt’s provost since 2004.
