The successful candidate will play a key role in transforming our approach to student engagement and campus safety.”

The search committee will be co-chaired by Herm Frazier, senior deputy athletics director, and Lynsay Belshe, senior associate vice president for operations in the BFAS division. The search committee also includes the following members:
