Presidential search input sessions this week, online survey available

In conjunction with public sessions at Northwest Missouri State University for institutional stakeholders to provide input regarding its presidential search process, the University also has opened a survey for stakeholders who are unable to attend sessions.

The survey is available at https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/NWMissouriPresidentSurvvey and remains open until 5 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 25. 

The Board of Regents is partnering with Anthem Executive, a Houston-based search firm to assist the institution with recruiting its next president. The search firm, in collaboration with a 15-member search committee of people representing various University stakeholder groups, is gathering input about the search and characteristics Northwest should seek in presidential candidates.
