SUDBURY -- Nipissing University is looking for public input on its presidential search through an online survey.
The school says the survey results will help identify the criteria believed to be important in the selection of the institution’s next president and vice-chancellor.
The university has engaged the services of executive search firm, Boyden, to assist with the search process.
"The consultation phase is underway and is an important step in ensuring that the university's community and key stakeholders are part of the recruitment process," the school said in a statement.
To participate in the consultation process, individuals are invited to complete a short, anonymous, online survey.
The information collected will be summarized by Boyden. It will be reviewed and considered by the selection committee as it develops the position description, role profile and interview process.
Any interested groups or individuals are asked to fill out the survey on or before Nov. 19, 2020.
Nipissing has also launched a presidential search website with additional information about the search process.
Cheryl Sutton has been serving as Nipissing University’s interim president since July 1 following the resignation of Dr. Mike DeGagne.
DeGagné had held the role since 2013.
The university anticipates its new president and vice-chancellor will be in place by July 2021.
