Selected from a pool of more than 330 nominations, the Presidential Search Advisory Committee is charged to assist the search committee by gathering campus perspectives on key topics, among them:
- key challenges and opportunities Case Western Reserve faces;
- experiences and qualities our next leader should possess; and
- aspirations for the university in the coming years.
The advisory committee is holding a series of listening sessions across the campus and also conducting surveys of faculty, staff, students and alumni.
The group will present its findings in a report to the search committee April 14 (this date has been extended from March 31); the report will be published on this website as well.
