Chancellor Finalists' Presentations and Meet & Greets
JUNE 03, 2023
ASUMH will hold “Open Forum & Presentation” and “Campus / Community Meet & Greet” sessions on June 5, 6 and 7 for the three finalists in the Chancellor search. The community is invited to meet and hear from the candidates. Open forums will be held in McMullin Lecture Hall in Dryer Hall beginning at 3:30 p.m. each day and will be followed at 5:00 p.m. by a campus / community meet & greeet in the lobby of Dryer Hall at ASUMH.
The “Open Forum & Presentation” sessions will also be live-streamed for those who are unable to attend in person. The links to the live-streams will be posted at www.asumh.edu/chancellorsearch. You will also find a feedback instrument on that webpage to submit feedback on the candidates to the Chancellor Search Advisory Committee.
The three finalists are:
• Dr. Kendra Ericson, president of St. Luke’s College in Sioux City, Iowa
• Dr. Tamara Daniel, provost and vice chancellor for academic affairs at ASU-Mountain Home
• Dr. Bentley Wallace, president of South Arkansas College in El Dorado
The invitations to formally interview on campus come after recent meetings Welch conducted with the Chancellor Search Advisory Committee. The advisory committee, consisting of 12 members representing faculty, staff, students, and community representatives, reviewed 47 applications for the position.
Each finalist will meet with the advisory committee, faculty, staff, students, and community members during interview sessions on June 5 with Ericson, on June 6 with Daniel and on June 7 with Wallace. Individuals attending the interview sessions will have an opportunity to submit feedback regarding each candidate to the Chancellor Search Advisory Committee. Following the final interview, the advisory committee will meet to discuss the candidates and provide feedback to Welch. Welch has indicated a desire to name a new chancellor by July 1, 2023.
