UNF will host public listening session for presidential search

The University of North Florida Presidential Search Committee invites members of the Northeast Florida community to participate in an upcoming listening session as part of the search for the eighth president.

The listening session is an opportunity for all stakeholders to share their perspectives on the qualities and characteristics they think are important for the next president. Input gathered during the session will help the committee as it develops the presidential position profile and determines which criteria will be used to evaluate candidates.

The community is invited to join the following hybrid listening session:

Friday, April 10
2:00 - 2:30 pm
Osprey Commons, Talon Room, Fourth Floor

https://unf.zoom.us/s/86304142065

Those unable to attend can provide input through [email protected]. Search firm Funk Associates is assisting the committee with the listening sessions.

Once it evaluates applicants, the 11-member Presidential Search Committee will present the Board a strong slate of unranked, highly qualified candidates for President of UNF, guided by the Florida Board of Governors Regulation 1.002, Presidential Search and Selection, and Section 1004.098 of the Florida Statutes.

The Board of Trustees will then select the next UNF President, subject to approval by the Florida Board of Governors.

Updates about the search are posted on the UNF Presidential Search website.
