Listening Sessions for Students, Staff and Faculty in Search for New Chancellor

As the search for a new chancellor moves forward, the search committee will host several events for UMass Amherst stakeholder groups to share the characteristics they would like to see in the next leader of the university and their future aspirations for UMass.
