UAA Chancellor Search Committee completes first review of candidates

March 29, 2021

The UAA Chancellor Search Committee has completed its first review of candidates for the next UAA chancellor. The committee evaluated numerous applications from a diverse and highly-qualified pool, and will meet with many of the candidates to learn more about them. 

The committee plans to conduct those interviews and refine the pool by early April. The UAA community will be invited to participate in virtual open forums for each candidate during the week of April 12 from 3:30 p.m. - 5:00 p.m. Final candidates will give a short presentation followed by a question and answer session. More details on the open forum schedule will follow once finalists have been selected.

After the forums, there will be additional opportunities to provide feedback on each finalist. The Search Committee will compile information about the strengths and weaknesses of each candidate, which will be informed by the feedback received from all stakeholder groups. President Pitney anticipates announcing the next chancellor on or about May 1.
