On Tuesday, Apr. 4, The Executive Vice President for Academic Affairs and Provost Search Committee announced in a campus-wide email that the finalist candidates for Wright State provost will visit the university starting Wednesday of next week.
During their visit, candidates will speak in forums in which they share their research experience and vision for the university. Forums are open to the public and will be live-streamed on the university website for those unable to attend.
Students and community members who cannot attend are also encouraged to submit questions for candidates before Thursday, Apr. 12. The question form is also accessible online.
The public will have the opportunity to provide feedback on each candidate through an online survey, which will be available for two business days after the candidate’s meeting. Each candidate will be announced the day before their visit to campus.
“During each candidate’s visit to Wright State, they will also meet with President Cheryl B. Schrader, Provost Thomas Sudkamp, students, researchers, the President’s Leadership Team, Councils of Deans, direct reports to the provost, community members, the Board of Trustees, the Provos Search Committee, and representatives of the Faculty Senate and Staff Council,” according to the announcement.
