Evergreen Presidential Search Survey

The Evergreen State College has tasked the Presidential Search Advisory Committee with the very important job of finding our next college President! The Committee will review candidate applications and solicit feedback from our community and stakeholders to find the best candidates to recommend to the Board of Trustees at the end of Winter quarter. At this time, they are soliciting feedback from our Evergreen community through the Evergreen Presidential Search Survey. This is a survey they are encouraging all students, staff, faculty, alumni, and community members to complete to help inform their decisions about candidate review moving forward. Please take a moment to complete this survey and lend your voice to the Presidential search at Evergreen!

Listening Sessions

Additionally, you can also participate in the Presidential Search Committee process through upcoming Listening Sessions. The Advisory Committee will begin its work by discussing the challenges and opportunities facing the college. Following initial sessions, groups will begin inviting participants into weekly sessions to provide their own perspectives and experiences related to the topic area.

Listening Group Topic Areas

  • Innovation in Higher Education
  • Racial and Social Justice
  • Evergreen’s Climate and Culture
  • Economic Pressures: Enrollment and Revenue Streams
  • Evergreen’s Place in the Community: Relationships, Perceptions and Expectations

Members of the Evergreen community are encouraged and welcome to request opportunities to participate in listening sessions by emailing Andrew Beattie (andrew.j.beattie@evergreen.edu). Live note-taking will be conducted at each session with all data then synthesized into a final report, presented to the search committee. You can find more information about the Presidential Search Advisory Committee, the serving members of the Board of Trustees who will make the final candidate determination, and the process the search committee will undergo in the next year at Evergreen’s Search Process webpage.
