Northwestern’s Search for a New University President
The Presidential Search Committee advises the Board of Trustees in selecting Northwestern University’s next president. It is charged with building a broad, diverse pool of candidates and conducting outreach and interviews. The committee ultimately will make a recommendation to the Board of Trustees for election of the next president. The committee will solicit input and nominations from the Northwestern community throughout this process.
We are confident we will find the best person to guide the University community on the continued upward trajectory of Northwestern’s distinguished reputation.”
Peter Barris, Vice Chair of the Board of Trustees and Chair of the Search Committee
