The following is a brief update on the presidential search:

• In late February, the Advisory Search Committee met for the third time to conduct first-round, virtual interviews with nine candidates.>
   
• Last week, the Advisory Search Committee met for the final time for second-round, in-person interviews and narrowed the pool to a small number of candidates who were recommended to the Chancellor for his consideration. The names of all candidates remain confidential and only the sole finalist will be named publicly.
   
• Over the next several weeks, additional due diligence will be conducted on the candidates and the Chancellor will also interview them.
   
• A sole finalist will be selected by the Chancellor and will be publicly announced most likely in late March 2022. The Board of Regents will hold a special called meeting to approve the sole finalist after a state-mandated 21-day waiting period.
   
• During the waiting period, the individual will be introduced to the campus community through a schedule of open forums and meetings with key stakeholders, including faculty, staff, students, and community members.
