Chancellor Search Committee Public Meetings
The chancellor search committee has scheduled a series of public meetings for various constituencies to share their views regarding the future leadership of the campus and other issues pertaining to the national search.
In e-mail messages to the campus community, Trustee Jennifer C. Braceras, who is chairing the search, and vice chair Kathleen Mitchell, said the meetings are “part of an unprecedented outreach effort” by the committee. “Your comments are of vital importance to the search process and will help to inform and guide the work of the search committee,” said the message.
Along with sessions for faculty, staff, students, and administrators, the committee is also offering several theme-based sessions intended to bring various campus constituencies together to discuss issues of common interest. Specific sessions for alumni, elected officials, and community leaders are also planned.
