Video links to each presentation will be available after the 26th on the following business day.
The campus presentation dates and times are listed below, with links to the finalists’ cover letters and resumes. There will be an opportunity for attendees to ask questions and to provide feedback to the search committee during the Q&A session following each presentation.
