From the Chair of the Presidential Search Committee
Dear Buffalo State Community,
This past week has been a productive one for the Presidential Search Committee. We met on Thursday, February 20, to approve the final advertising plan and an aggressive work plan to identify our next president.
Our timeline is built on the assumption that three to five finalists will be invited to campus as early as the last two weeks of April and no later than May 9. We hope that our recommendations can be acted on at the June meeting of the SUNY Board of Trustees.
Recruiting by Jessica Kozloff, our consultant from Academic Search, has begun. Thank you to all members of the campus community who provided valuable feedback to Jessica during her visit last week.
Advertisements have been placed in the Chronicle of Higher Education, Inside Higher Ed, and other online publications that have a national reach. The search committee will begin its applicant evaluation in a few weeks. Ken O'Brien, our SUNY liaison, was in attendance at our meeting and will continue to assist us as we move forward.
The first phase of this search will be confidential, but be assured that we will engage in a public vetting of our finalists and will seek the input of the campus community during their campus visits.
Thank you for your continued support and participation in this important process.
Sincerely,
Howard Zemsky
Chair, Presidential Search Committee
Chair, SUNY Buffalo State Council
