Presidential Search Update

As a new era unfolds at the University of Mary Washington, the search for a University president continues.

A 15-member Presidential Search Advisory Committee, chaired by Board of Visitors Rector J. William Poole, will pre-screen candidates and recommend finalists to the board. At press time, that research was ongoing.

The Advisory Committee includes Board members Nanalou W. Sauder ’56, Patricia B. Revere ’63, Elizabeth F. “Betty” Foster ’69, Martha K. Leighty ’75, Daniel K. Steen ’84, C. Maureen Stinger ’94, Benjamin W. Hernandez ’95, and Russell H. Roberts. Faculty members chosen to be part of the Committee include Arrington Distinguished Chair in Poetry Claudia Emerson, who represents the College of Arts and Sciences; Director of  Education Programs Brenda E. Vogel, who represents the College of Graduate and Professional Studies; and Vice President for Enrollment and Communications Martin A. Wilder Jr. Additional members include Foundation Board President Florian N. “Red” Hofer, Alumni Association President Barbara B. Micou ’69, and Student Government Association President Krishna K. Sinha ’08.

Greenwood and Associates, a leading executive consulting firm that has successfully conducted hundreds of searches, was chosen to aid in the project. The firm, led by former Longwood University President Jan Greenwood, will guide the board as well as solicit nominations and recommendations.
