We are pleased to share that the Presidential Search has resulted in four highly qualified candidates. Each has been scheduled to visit Aquinas College for a full day of introductions and interviews. Their names will be released just before their arrival on campus. In the meantime we would like you to hold the following times for Open Forum introductions with the four candidates:
- Monday, April 11, 2:15 to 3:15 p.m., Wege Ballroom in the Wege Center
- Tuesday, April 12, 2:15 to 3:15 p.m., Wege Ballroom in the Wege Center
- Wednesday, April 13, 2:15 to 3:15 p.m., Wege Ballroom in the Wege Center
- Tuesday, April 19, 2:15 to 3:15 p.m., Wege Ballroom in the Wege Center
All students, faculty, staff, alumni and supporters of the College are invited to the Open Forums. After each session, a survey will be made available for you to provide your anonymous feedback to the Board of Trustees. Survey responses will be compiled by Academic Search.
In addition to the Open Forums, candidates will have interviews with Student Senate, Faculty Assembly Leadership Committee, Staff Assembly Leadership Committee, the Leadership of the Dominican Sisters, Executive Committee of the Alumni Association Leadership Council, the President’s Cabinet, and the Board of Trustees.
The Search Committee will help host these visits and then turn the final selection process over to the Board of Trustees. The Board plans to review all interview results and survey responses from the community, and then spend time discerning and deliberating before selecting a finalist.
It has been an honor to serve the Aquinas community as Co-Chairs of the Selection Committee and we look forward to hearing your impressions of our candidates in the coming weeks.
Sincerely,
