Search Committee

The committee's objective is to conduct a thorough national search for the next vice president for student affairs and assist with the successful hiring of a top candidate.

The search committee is charged with conducting the search, evaluating candidates, conducting initial interviews, hosting finalists, and submitting an unranked list of acceptable candidates to the president. The committee, with assistance from an executive search firm, will ensure that all stakeholder groups have the opportunity to participate in the process and/or provide feedback on the finalists and will be used by the committee in its deliberations.

Search Committee

The search committee is assisted by Spelman Johnson in this process. The search is chaired by Vice President for Marketing & Communications Meloney Linder.
