鈥淭he 新澳门六合彩内幕信息 has tremendous momentum, having recently set several institutional records, and it鈥檚 critical for us to find a new president with the leadership abilities to continue our trajectory,鈥 Lamb says. 鈥淥ur search committee members strongly represent the communities we serve, they come from diverse backgrounds and each will bring a unique perspective to this process.鈥

新澳门六合彩内幕信息has now hired nationally regarded search firm Greenwood/Asher & Associates, Inc. The firm will help identify potential applicants from around the country who can help sustain USF鈥檚 positive momentum. The firm is now working with the committee to develop the ideal profile for the position, taking into account input received from a wide-reaching community survey.

The committee intends to recommend a set of candidates to the BOT in early 2019, with an interview process on campus shortly following. Once the interviews conclude, the search committee will present final candidates to the BOT, and trustees are expected to decide on a new president during the spring of 2019.
