• A successful search process will rely on the time and focus of a dedicated group of individuals from across the university who bring perspectives as students, faculty, staff, alumni, and Trustees. Ultimately, this group will recommend candidates to the Board of Trustees. The Committee is led by Board of Trustees Chair Linda E. Rappaport and Trustee Dominique Bluhdorn. They are supported by our search partners at Isaacson, Miller. The members of the search committee will approach their work with a commitment to consider broad perspectives and uphold the highest standards of integrity.
