Presidential finalist open forum dates are scheduled for February 19, 22, 26, and 29. Each open forum will be held from 1:30-2:45 p.m. in the Old Main Room, Bone Student Center. The Board of Trustees will meet on Friday, February 16, 2024, and will approve the final slate of candidates recommended by the Presidential Search Committee.
The Presidential Search Committee received 41 completed applications for the president’s position. Following extensive review and discussion, a diverse pool of 11 candidates was invited to interview with the search committee. The semi-finalist interviews were conducted on February 5-6, 2024, by the search committee. Five highly competent candidates were selected as finalists. One candidate has since withdrawn from consideration for personal reasons.
Additional details about each open forum and other related public events will be shared on the Board of Trustees website. Candidate bios, CVs, and evaluation forms will be posted on the Candidate Information webpage 24 hours ahead of each candidate’s visit to Illinois State.
