Dear Campus Colleagues,
The University System Office has shared the message below from Board Chairman David Dove with all USG presidents. I encourage you to review the linked materials and attached profile, share your feedback, nominate potential candidates, and circulate this information within your professional networks.
Thank you,
Cathy Cox, J.D.
The search for the next Chancellor continues to move forward, with several key milestones achieved and additional opportunities for stakeholder engagement forthcoming. The Chancellor search website is now live and will serve as the primary source for information, updates, and opportunities for engagement throughout the search.
Planning is also underway for a series of listening sessions across USG. Additional details, including dates and participation information, will be shared once schedules are finalized.
In the meantime, broad engagement is vital to the success of the search process. Please encourage your campus community members to provide feedback, nominate candidates, and share the opportunity within their professional networks to help identify a strong candidate pool. Thank you for your participation and support as the search progresses toward identifying the next Chancellor. I look forward to our discussion and to hearing your perspectives on August 13.
Sincerely,
Chairman David Dove
