The UConn Board of Trustees would like to invite faculty, staff, and students to attend open public forums to discuss the search for UConn’s next president. Several separate forums have been scheduled for each specific group. The purpose of the forums is to solicit feedback from the university community regarding what qualities and experience you would like to see in the university’s next president, and what you see as the opportunities and challenges that await them.
Earlier this month, the UConn Board of Trustees selected Isaacson Miller, Inc., an executive search firm, to support the Advisory Search Committee for President in this national search. Isaacson Miller, Inc. is one of the country’s premier search firms, with over 36 years of experience in recruiting senior leaders for institutions of higher education, including presidential searches for numerous colleges and universities. Staff from the firm will be running each forum on the dates and times listed below and collecting your feedback.
If you are unable to attend in person, you will be able to access some meetings via livestream at the time of the meeting by clicking one of the links below. Please feel free to submit any questions and/or comments prior to the event at president@uconn.edu.
