The Illinois State University Board of Trustees will engage Parker Executive Search as the hiring and consulting firm to assist with a national search for the University’s 21st President.  The firm will be paid $110,000 plus expenses, to help the University’s search and screening committee identify a diverse pool of highly qualified candidates. 

The Board will hold an open search and encourages stakeholder participation throughout the process. Search committee appointments will begin shortly and will include students, faculty and staff. The Board looks forward to coordinating the search timeline with Parker. 

Further updates on the search process will be shared as appropriate in the coming months.
