Search Timeline Update from Provost Jon Anderson
Colleagues,
I am writing to provide an update on the search for the next Dean of the College of Professional Programs. The search committee has been working over the past several months to develop a strong pool of applicants. This week, the committee identified the semi-finalists they will be interviewing via Zoom during the week of April 8, with the goal of identifying finalists on or before April 15.
Given the busy springtime schedule for everyone, I wanted to inform you that we anticipate having our finalists visit the campuses in Cheney and Spokane during the weeks of April 29, May 6, and potentially May 13, depending on scheduling and the number of finalists. We want to ensure that faculty and staff have every opportunity to meet these finalists, so please mark these dates on your calendars.
Thanks to the members participating on the committee (listed below) and Dr. Gwen Cash-James for chairing.
More information will be provided once we identify our finalists and schedule campus visits.
In gratitude,
-Jon Anderson
Provost and Vice President of Academic Affairs
