Presidential Search Update

Photo of a statue of two hands holding up a headThe application deadline for the position was June 1st. We received 29 applications, 25 of which met qualifications. Applications came from multiple states and three countries.
The search committee met on June 4th to review the qualified applicants. As a result of that meeting and a follow-up meeting later that week, the committee selected seven applicants to invite to a first-round Zoom interview. These applicants have all been scheduled to interview the week of June 24th (three on June 24th, two on June 25th and two on June 28th). The committee is now working on finalizing interview questions for those applicants.
Immediately following the seven interviews, the search committee will determine who to invite to the on-campus interviews which are currently scheduled for the weeks of July 8th and July 15th. Further information about those dates and times will be communicated as soon as available. We look forward to this process and to the involvement of all community members.
