As chair of the Presidential Search Committee, I am happy to share that we are making excellent progress with K\u2019s presidential search and have officially kicked off the candidate recruitment phase\u2014an exciting milestone in this process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In May, students, faculty, staff, alumni, trustees, and members of our broader community shared their insights on the qualities and characteristics we seek in our next president through on-site listening sessions and an online survey. We are grateful to everyone who participated in this important work. The presidential prospectus<\/a>\u2014now complete\u2014reflects your valuable insights and will continue to shape the committee\u2019s evaluation of candidates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our partners at DSG Storbeck will be actively recruiting and reaching out to potential candidates throughout the summer. We invite you to recommend candidates who may be a strong fit; contact information is available on the\u00a0Presidential Search<\/a> website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The committee anticipates reviewing and interviewing a highly qualified pool of candidates beginning late summer into the fall, with the goal of presenting a final candidate to the Board of Trustees toward the end of fall term.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On behalf of the search committee, thank you for your continued support and thoughtful engagement in this process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sincerely,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
