Update: Finalist sessions are expected to be held on April 21 and 22.

Dear Evergreen community, 

Provided below are updates on the presidential search process.

Finalist Dates Updated

As we await selection of finalists, we now ask you to hold your calendars on April 21 and 22 for virtual finalist sessions. We are targeting both of these dates, with potential for April 26 and 27, if needed. The need for time beyond April 21 and 22 will depend on how many finalists are announced.

Provide Finalist Session Input Now

In order to help us prepare for finalist sessions, we have developed a web form where members of the community can suggest topics or questions that may inform introductory prompts for each session. The form is now open and submissions are invited.

Evaluation of Candidates

Before sessions begin, we will be sharing a feedback form. This will hopefully help you prepare for each session. A deadline will be given for feedback submission along with the link to the form. The link will be shared again during each session.

More Info to Come

More specific schedule information will be shared when number and names of finalists are known. We anticipate more information on finalists will be shared on Friday, April 16.
