Many thanks go to our Screening Committee members who provided valuable input for the brochure and timeline, to all who responded to the campus survey, and to the terrific teams in our Marketing, Communication & Public Relations and Human Resources departments for helping to provide open, clear information for potential candidates.

The closing date for applications is July 31, 2023, by midnight.

We anticipate finalists will be selected in mid-October and plan for all finalists to participate in public forums October 27-30, 2023.
