Biographical information, schedules, and comment forms for all candidates can be accessed via the "Finalists Visits" link on the Presidential Search site:
Presidential Search Website
To access this section of the website, you must log in with your IC e-mail username and password.
I have asked the campus members of the search committee (Art Ostrander, Hugh Egan, John Sigg, Susan Swensen, Margie Malepe, and Monica Marcenko) to assist me in hosting the campus visits. These individuals will be present at the sessions of their respective constituent groups. Your written comments on the finalists will be welcomed. Your comments on the forms provided at each of the sessions (or on the website) can be given to a search committee member or sent directly to Nancy Pringle, whose office is located on the third floor of Job Hall, within two days following each candidate's visit. All individual comments will be presented to the board of trustees for review during its deliberations.
These upcoming visits represent a wonderful opportunity for all members of the college community to meet our finalists. It also provides all of us the opportunity to showcase what makes Ithaca College such a special community. On behalf of the Ithaca College Board of Trustees and the Presidential Search Committee, I thank you for joining in this effort of good ambassadorship as we welcome these finalists to our campus.
