The 女仆AV\u2019s Presidential Search Committee selected seven applicants to invite to campus on Thursday for in-person interviews.<\/p>\n
The applicant pool includes a remarkable depth of academic scholarship and accomplishment, including candidates with membership in the prestigious National Academy of Medicine and National Academy of Engineering, and affiliation with institutions in the Association of American Universities, which represents the country’s leading research universities.<\/p>\n
\u201cFrom a very strong pool of applicants I am pleased with our choices of academic scholars with impeccable records of achievement,” said Trustee William Self, an associate professor in the College of Medicine and a member of the Search Committee. “These candidates are world-renowned in their disciplines and also strong academic leaders that have led or are currently leading large and complex academic and health enterprises in higher education. I am confident that from this strong pool of candidates we will find our next President and that this leader will be a proud member of the faculty in their discipline.”<\/p>\n

I encourage our campus community to take advantage of the opportunity to hear from this group of leaders with very different backgrounds and perspectives.\u201d<\/p>\n
