Search for Dean of the School of Business & Economics

Hello all!

This is Nicolette, and I just wanted to give you a heads up regarding the search for our new dean. Perhaps you didn't know that a search was being conducted, or what a "search committee" even is. Allow me to explain.

SSU policy states that "certain positions of university-wide import, or administrative appointments requiring faculty representation, require a search committee to be formed to interview candidates and conduct the recruitment." School deans fall into this category. Membership of search committees include two members appointed by the President, one member selected by the Executive Board of the Associated Students and four members elected by the faculty or members of the affected unit.

I serve as the student representative on our current search committee, which is moving right along in our efforts to recruit a well-qualified individual for this position. We will be bringing several candidates to campus in the last week of February, and the first week of March. This is a GREAT opportunity for you to meet them and provide us with your feedback. When I have the specific times and places for you all to meet and greet with them, I will be sure to update this post.

Again, I would just like to stress the importance of having the faces of business and economics students at these open forums with the candidates, so please do your best to attend. This is a decision that affects everyone, so the more imput we have, the better.

Until next time!
