Members were selected to reflect the SU community, with representation among students, faculty, staff, alumni and other institutional stakeholders. The committee’s work will result in the submission of a short list of the most qualified presidential candidates for the Board of Regents to consider. More information regarding the SU presidential search process can be found here.
The committee will work with the national leadership recruiting firm Academic Search, and is being staffed by USM Senior Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs and Student Life JoAnn Boughman.
The committee's work will conclude with its recommendation of finalists for consideration by the chancellor and the Board of Regents. The board will make the final selection. Historically, the search process for a president at most USM institutions has taken four to six months.
Members of the campus and greater communities are invited to submit nominations for outstanding individuals they would like to be considered as SU’s next leader to SU-president-search@usmd.edu.
