Information Sessions

Beginning in September, the search firm team from Isaacson, Miller will host a series of in-person and Zoom sessions for students, faculty, staff and alumni to offer input and learn more about the search process. This input will help inform the search committee as it considers candidates for the presidency.

We strongly encourage all members of the University community to participate. The diverse perspectives of the 51²è¹Ý community are essential to ensuring that all voices are heard in this search process.

Please note: Students, faculty, staff and alumni will receive an email invitation with more details about their scheduled session with the search firm team.
