Provost & Senior VP Finalists to Visit Campus March 25 – March 27
Dear Dragon Community,
Minnesota State Moorhead is pleased to welcome three finalists to campus next week for the position of Provost and Senior Vice President of Academic and Student Affairs. As many of us return from spring break and resume the important work of the semester, this visit represents a key step in advancing the university’s academic mission and strengthening our commitment to student success. A special thank you to the members of the search committee for leading our efforts to this point: Gary Haugo, Denise Gorsline, Ty Filley, Kyja Kristjansson-Nelson, Jered Pigeon, Ayden Ochs, Carol Hall, Karen Qualey, Erika Beseler Thompson, and Sara Juckem.
All members of the campus community are invited to attend the candidates’ open forums to learn about each finalist’s experience, hear their vision for Academic and Student Affairs, and participate in a question-and-answer session. In-person participation is encouraged when possible; however, a Zoom option will be available for those who wish to attend virtually. Open forum sessions are not recorded. Following each forum, members of the campus community will have the opportunity to provide feedback to help inform the selection process.
