October 17 Update on Presidential Search
Submitted on behalf of James W. Nolan Jr. ’77, Parent ’01, chair of the Presidential Search Committee
Your search committee has been active! Since my last communication, we have been very busy in narrowing the pool of applicants. We are pleased by the quality of the candidates we have been in contact with and encouraged by the prospect of a successful conclusion to the search. The work takes time, patience, and persistence, and I am grateful to the committee members for their efforts.

Presidential Search Update
Submitted on behalf of James W. Nolan Jr. ’77, Parent ’01, chair of the Presidential Search Committee
It has now been just over three weeks since the search for Ithaca College’s next president officially went “live” with the publication and distribution of the position prospectus. We are now in full gear. Our search consultants are compiling profiles and beginning to contact candidates, and we are working with them to ensure the qualities of our candidates are consistent with our needs as an institution. We are still early in the process, but I am very optimistic about our prospects due to the rich candidate pool already in front of us.

Presidential Search is Officially Live
Submitted on behalf of James W. Nolan Jr. ’77, Parent ’01, chair of the Presidential Search Committee
I am pleased to inform you that the search for the next president of Ithaca College is now live. As I described to you in my last update, the search committee and search firm collaborated with great focus and intentionality during the month of May to finalize the position’s prospectus (also known as the opportunity statement) that will be shared with the public and all prospective candidates. The opportunity statement is now complete, and I encourage you all to view it on the presidential search website and share it with your colleagues at IC and elsewhere. I also encourage you to nominate individuals you feel would be strong candidates for consideration. Nominations can be submitted to ithacapresident@spencerstuart.com.

May 11, 2016, Update on Presidential Search
Submitted on behalf of James W. Nolan Jr. ’77, Parent ’01, chair of the Presidential Search Committee
As we come to the end of the academic year, I’d like to share an update on the recent activities and next steps for the Presidential Search Committee. For quick reference, here is a summary of the committee’s overarching timeline, which I describe in more detail below.
- By the end of May: Share a summary of community input to date; finalize and share the prospectus.
- June: Establish key operating principles and practices.
- During the summer: Meet regularly to review candidates. Meetings are currently scheduled for June, July, and August.
- During the fall semester: Thoughtfully engage with the community, interview candidates, identify finalists, and ultimately proceed to final appointment and announcement of our next president by the board.
- Each month until the search concludes: Share an update with the whole IC community.
