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 (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 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:

Comment. In addition, there will be
several open forums scheduled in upcoming
weeks, which will be announced soon.
