The Search For Our Next President
The California State University (CSU) Board of Trustees has launched a nationwide search for the next president of California State University, Stanislaus.
Following CSU policy, the Chair of the CSU Trustees, Wenda Fong, appointed a Trustees Committee for the Selection of the President. The Advisory Committee is composed of representatives from the faculty, staff, students, and alumni, as well as a member of a campus advisory board, all of whom are selected by the University's constituency groups per their selection criteria. Also on the Advisory Committee is a vice president or academic dean from the campus and a president of another CSU campus—both selected by the chancellor in consultation with the Board Chair. Both committees function as one unified group in the search process.
