On behalf of the Presidential Search Committee, I am writing to share a brief update on the presidential search process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The search committee continues to make steady progress, and we are engaging in meaningful conversations with candidates from a strong pool of applicants. I continue to be impressed by the thoughtfulness and collaborative spirit that every member of the committee brings to this work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
While we initially thought we might reach a decision by early winter, the process is still underway. A presidential search requires time and careful consideration to ensure the best possible leadership for Kalamazoo College.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As I\u2019ve noted previously, confidentiality is essential to the search process. While we are unable to share many details, we look forward to providing future updates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sincerely,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
