The search for the University’s President is progressing on schedule. The Presidential Search Committee recently met and continued its multi-stage vetting process to identify candidates whose backgrounds and experiences seem especially consistent with the qualities and qualifications established for the search.  At this gathering, the search committee chose to advance a select group for confidential preliminary interviews. 

The committee will meet again soon to conduct another level of evaluation and to identify a small number of semi-finalists for initial reference checking and a second set of confidential committee interviews.
