Presidential Search Advisory Committee Established

A Presidential Search Advisory Committee has been established to determine the structure for the upcoming search for MCC's permanent president. Co-chaired by Board Chairperson Barbara Lovenheim, Ph.D. and Faculty Senate Special Committee on Administrative Affairs (SCAA) Chairperson Rebecca Babcock, the Advisory Committee is a diverse, cross-functional team of students and employees.

During the Spring 2020 semester, the Advisory Committee will coordinate opportunities for members of the College community and external stakeholders to engage in the search process through open forums and online surveys. The Committee will set the foundation for a successful national search by drafting the MCC Presidential Search Profile and job description documents as well as confirming the role of the search consultant. Led by the Presidential Search Committee, the national search will begin this fall, with the goal of selecting a new president in the spring of 2021.

More information about the Advisory Committee, including members and meeting dates, is available on the Presidential Search web pages.

Please join us in thanking our students and colleagues for contributing their time and unique perspectives to the Advisory Committee.
