Just a few reminders about upcoming presidential search meetings:
Richard Marchase's Faculty Forum will be held today at 1:30pm in 208 Turnbull. If you cannot make it at that time, you are welcome to attend any of the other sessions. Please see presidentialsearch.fsu.edu for today's schedule.
The Faculty Senate meets today at 3:35pm in the Dodd Hall Auditorium. The agenda includes a discussion of the presidential search.
The deadline to fill out the surveys for each of the candidates is now Saturday by 5:00pm. You can find the link to each survey in the Forum Schedule chart on the presidentialsearch.fsu.edu homepage.
The Presidential Search Advisory Committee will meet Monday at 1:00pm in 208 Turnbull. The agenda has not been posted yet, but I assume that there will be a public comment period. My understanding is that this meeting will be webcast.
The Board of Trustees will begin interviews with the final candidates at 8:30am on Tuesday, the 23rd, in 208 Turnbull. According to the presidential search website, the General Meeting of the Trustees will begin at 2:00pm or 15 minutes following conclusion of the final interview. The agenda is posted, and the meeting will begin with public comment. It is my understanding that the interviews and the general meeting will be webcast. This is an extremely important meeting because the BOT is expected to make a final decision regarding the next president.
I strongly encourage all of you to attend these important meetings if you can, and please encourage your colleagues to do so as well.
