August 18, 2025 - Vice President for University Advancement Search - Finalist Visits Begin this Week

To Campus Community,

In July, a campus search committee interviewed seven outstanding semifinalists for the position of Vice President for University Advancement. Upon completion of the interviews, three candidates were selected to advance to the final round.

The committee is excited for you to meet the finalists, who each have the experience and demonstrated potential to lead the Division of University Advancement and serve as Chief Executive Officer of the University Foundation. The finalists will visit campus from August 22–29. Candidate resumes and interview schedules will be available two days prior to each finalist’s visit. Several of you already have received invitations to participate in campus interviews. The entire campus is invited to attend the candidates’ open forum presentations. Please note the following dates:

• Finalist A Campus Visit – August 22, 2025
  Campus presentation: 2:15–3:15 p.m. in Colusa 100A
• Finalist B Campus Visit – August 28, 2025

• Finalist C Campus Visit – August 29, 2025
