Virtual U鶹ѿpresidential search town hall on Wednesday
The 鶹ѿ and the University of 鶹ѿPresidential Search Advisory Committee invites the U鶹ѿcommunity to attend a on May 8 to provide feedback on the characteristics and qualities needed in the university’s next president.
In response to community feedback and to allow for additional input, the committee changed the town hall to a virtual session from its original physical location in Tucson. The virtual town hall is on May 8 from 6-7:30 p.m. .
“Community input is of critical importance to the board and committee,” said ABOR Chair Cecilia Mata. “We want to meet the community where they are at, which is why we are gathering feedback in person, virtually and anonymously. We are committed to finding a leader with the qualities necessary to lead an institution as exceptional as UArizona.”
Committee members have held dozens of formal and informal stakeholder meetings and two public town halls. On Monday, the committee sent a feedback survey to U鶹ѿstudents, employees and alumni. More than 2,800 U鶹ѿcommunity members have taken the presidential search feedback survey so far. The anonymous survey closes at 11:59 p.m. on May 8.
Information gathered from the survey and during these listening sessions will inform the development of the position profile and assist the Search Advisory Committee in finalizing the evaluation criteria for presidential candidates. Comments may also be sent to UArizonaPresidentialSearch@azregents.edu.
The committee’s next formal meeting is on Tuesday, May 7 from 3-5 p.m. For more information about the U鶹ѿpresidential search, click here.
