Search Committee

Members of the Presidential Search Committee

The Board of Trustees has charged a Presidential Search Committee with identifying and recommending the eighth University President. The Search Committee will partner with WittKieffer to gather input from the La Roche community, including members of the President’s Executive Council, faculty, staff, students, alumni, and friends of the University, and to create a position profile that helps to identify candidates for the next president. The Search Committee will determine a timeline for the search and will provide regular updates during the process. The La Roche community also will be able to directly communicate with the Search Committee to provide feedback and nominations of potential candidates once the process is underway. The Search Committee will evaluate applicants, interview top candidates, and recommend a finalist to the Board of Trustees.
