I am pleased to report that the search for the College’s next president is progressing well and on schedule. The response to the search has been impressive, and the Presidential Search Committee has been reviewing materials from talented and accomplished leaders. The committee recently met and continued its multistage process to identify candidates whose backgrounds and experiences seem especially consistent with the qualities and qualifications established for the search. At that meeting, the committee chose to advance a select group of outstanding candidates for confidential preliminary interviews.

The committee will meet again soon to conduct the interviews and to identify a leading group for additional interviews and due diligence.

I will share an update with you later this fall as we continue our work. On behalf of the search committee, I thank you for your ongoing support.
