Dear Union Community Member:
As the fall term draws to a close, I wanted to provide an update on the presidential search.
In simplest terms, we remain on schedule with the search process. The Isaacson, Miller team has conducted listening sessions with faculty, staff, students and alumni, and the official position profile has been created and can be found on the Isaacson, Miller website. Additionally, the College has created a presidential search website that includes information on the search, the search firm and all the updates we have shared.
Our timetable remains the same. The search firm already has begun to identify candidates and will work with the search committee to vet those candidates over the winter. Our expectation continues to be that we will be able to announce Union’s 20th president early next spring, which would ensure a smooth transition for the College.
I would like to thank all those who have already taken the time to share their thoughts about Union and the role of the president with the search firm. Similarly, my deep appreciation goes to the search committee members for their willingness to help steer this important work.
As I have said before, we will continue to provide updates to the community as we move through the process. In the meantime, should anyone know someone who they feel would make a good candidate for the position, please nominate them through the Isaacson, Miller website.
Sincerely,
Rich Delaney ‘80
Union College Trustee and chair of the presidential search committee
