The first interview is expected to occur during the week of November 28, 2011. Announcements will be made to the campus community regarding the schedule of visits and the opportunities for faculty, students, staff, administrators, and community members to meet each of the candidates. The committee looks forward to your active participation in this process as we move toward the selection of our new president.

Search Committee Chair
Mr. Thornburgh also asked those in attendance to share their ideas as to IUP’s strengths so that this information can be emphasized when communicating with potential candidates. Responses were thoughtful and insightful.
A meeting of the committee will be held within the next ten days to develop a timeline for the vetting of resumes and the scheduling of interviews.
The committee welcomes input from the university community as we move ahead with the process (send e-mail to rwinters@iup.edu). We will continue to provide updates on the search.
—Susan Delaney, Chair
]]>Two sessions will take place—one for faculty members from 12:30 to 1:30 p.m., and one for administrators, staff members, and students from 2:00 to 3:00 p.m.
John Thornburgh of Witt-Kieffer will host both sessions and plans to explore the following issues at each:
John Thornburgh, the search consultant, visited the IUP campus on June 14, 2011, to gather input from various campus and community constituencies. Following his visit, the position profile was developed and is now available. We feel that it is an informative and visually appealing document that states clearly what IUP has to offer prospective candidates, as well as what our expectations are for the potential applicant.
Two open forums are scheduled once classes resume in the fall. Both will be held in the HUB Ohio Room on September 8. The first forum, scheduled for 12:30 p.m., will be for administrators, staff, and students. The second forum, for faculty members, will begin at 2:00 p.m.
We will look forward to seeing you at the forums, and we continue to welcome your comments or questions in regard to the search process.
