The campus community is invited to open forums Sept. 10-13 for four finalists seeking to be UCF’s next professor and vice provost for Teaching and Learning and Dean of the College of Undergraduate Studies.
The forums, which were rescheduled in anticipation of Hurricane Dorian, will be held Tuesday through Friday, Sept. 10-13, from 2 p.m. to 3 p.m. in the UCF Global Building. Each forum will feature a presentation by a candidate on student success followed by questions and answers with the audience. During their visits, candidates also will meet with students, faculty, administrators, and other key stakeholders.
The 13-member search committee is co-chaired by Dr. Jeffery Stout, professor and director for the School of Kinesiology and Physical Therapy, and Dr. RoSusan Bartee, professor and chair for Department of Educational Leadership and Higher Education. The new vice provost and dean will join UCF in January.
“This is a national search and we are pleased to bring four outstanding candidates to campus,” Stout said. “The open forums are an opportunity for members of the UCF community to hear from the candidates and offer feedback to Provost Elizabeth A. Dooley.”
