As you are well aware, the candidate pool for the next ASU President has reached the final three candidates. PASC has worked with the search committee and the President’s Office to have a dedicated 90 minute session with each candidate for all exempt professional staff. We would love to have as many of our fellow exempt professional staff attend these forums as possible. The PASC has a list of questions that we’ve gathered from everyone and will facilitate the discussion with each of the candidates. Please make every attempt to attend if you are able to, as it is extremely important that we are involved in this critical process for ASU.  The sessions start this Thursday, below are the meeting dates, times and locations:

-Thursday, March 5^th – Richard Duran – 1:30-3:00 PM in McDaniel Hall Room 101

-Wednesday, March 11^th – Ricardo Maestas – 1:30-3:00 PM in Student Union Building Room 309

-Thursday, March 19^th – Beverlee McClure – 1:30-3:00 PM in McDaniel Hall Room 101

Again, we hope to see you there! For further details including details on each of the candidates, please visit the Presidential Search Timeline page at http://www.adams.edu/president/search/timeline.php
