The search committee is very interested in receiving nominations and applications. The committee is also seeking input from all members of the university community about the challenges facing the next president, and the essential qualities and qualifications that would be desirable in the university’s next president. This input will be particularly critical to the search committee because considerations of candidate confidentiality will preclude extensive community participation in the latter stages of the search process. Our goal is to create multiple opportunities for all members of the community to share their ideas.
For those of you who live in the area, UMD has scheduled a listening session so that they may hear directly from all of you who wish to contribute to the process. The session for the entire community will be held on Wednesday, April 7, 2010, from 2:30 to 4:00 p.m., in the Atrium, first floor, Stamp Student Union, University of Maryland.
