Listening Sessions and Feedback Opportunities Announced for Faculty, Staff and Students 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. The new chancellor will build upon the momentum Chancellor Kumble Subbaswamy has built, following his retirement at the end of the academic year. This information will be helpful as the committee works to finalize the position profile used to recruit candidates. The team from the hired search firm, Isaacson Miller, will join these meetings.
