TTU Presidential Search Advisory Committee Meets to Review Applicants April 9

The presidential search advisory committee at Tennessee Tech University will meet Monday, April 9, to review applicants for the TTU president’s post at 10 a.m. CDT in the Eagles Nest at TTU's Hooper Eblen Center.

Committee members will identify leading prospects for consideration, select candidates for the first-round interviews with the search committee, and discuss interview strategies.

The selected first-round candidates will be invited to interview with the search committee on April 11-12 at the Eagles Nest. The committee will determine the number of candidates to interview.

Based on those interviews, reference checks and consultations that occur during that time, the committee will then select which finalists to invite back to meet with campus and community constituents during the week of April 16-20.

The search committee’s charge is to identify three to five finalists for the position of president who will visit the campus for interviews. Tennessee Board of Regents Chancellor John Morgan will then consult with members of the committee and make a final selection for submission to the TBR for approval.

The committee is working with executive search firm Greenwood/Asher & Associates, contracted by the TBR to help identify a broad range of highly qualified candidates.

All meetings of the presidential search advisory committee are open to the press and the public as observers. More information on the presidential search process, including the criteria for selection and members of the search advisory committee, can be found at www.tbr.edu under the “Quick Links” section.

The Tennessee Board of Regents is the nation’s sixth largest higher education system, governing 46 post-secondary educational institutions. The TBR system includes six universities (including TTU), 13 two-year colleges and 27 technology centers, providing programs in 90 of Tennessee’s 95 counties to more than 200,000 students.
