/Re:/*Presidential Search Committee*

    I am pleased to announce that earlier today the Executive Committee
    of the University of Vermont Board of Trustees approved the
    appointment of the Presidential Search Committee.Previously, the
    Board appointed me to serve as chair and Dr. Patricia Prelock, Dean
    of the College of Nursing and Health Sciences and Professor of
    Communication Sciences and Disorders as Vice Chair of the
    Presidential Search Committee.

    A Faculty Panel elected per the University Manual
    <http://www.uvm.edu/%7Efacrsrcs/University%20Manual.pdf> (Section
    202.3.3) met earlier this week and selected four representatives to
    the search committee. The Staff Council, the Student Government
    Association, Graduate Student Senate, and the Alumni Association
    have provided excellent nominations from which I selected search
    committee members to recommend to the Board. I appreciate the many
    other worthy suggestions and nominations I have received. In keeping
    with the guidelines set forth in the University Manual, I identified
    additional search committee members from across the campus, as well
    as other members of the Board of Trustees. Below is a list of the
    members of the Presidential Search Committee.

    The Presidential Search Committee will meet for the first time on
    _*Tuesday, April 26, 2011 from 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. in Marsh
    Lounge, Billings Library.*_The meeting agenda as well as material
    for the meeting is available on the Presidential Search Committee
    <http://www.uvm.edu/%7Etrustees/presidentsearch/> website.Minutes of
    this meeting and future agendas and minutes will also be posted on
    this site.

    I appreciate the willingness of these individuals to serve on the
    Search Committee and look forward to working with them through a
    process that promises to be both rewarding and important for the
    entire University.

    I would like to once again encourage all who have perspectives about
    the future leadership of UVM to share their views at: Invitation to
    Comment
    <http://www.uvm.edu/%7Etrustees/presidentsearch/?Page=comment.html>.
    In addition, there will be several open forums scheduled in upcoming
    weeks, which will be announced soon.
