Presidential Search Update
Dear Arcadia University Community:
The Board of Trustees would like to update the campus community on the presidential search process. It is our intention to regularly inform the community and offer opportunities to engage in the search process.
Presidential Search Firm Retained
The University has retained the services and professional expertise of Diversified Search, Inc. This firm comes highly recommended and has excellent credentials, yet is reasonable in cost. We will be working with Andrew Wheeler from Diversified Search to identify and target the most qualified leader.

Public Forums Next Week
On Monday, Thursday, and Friday of next week, Andrew Wheeler will be on campus to meet with groups of University stakeholders. These forums are an opportunity for University members to ask questions and discuss the qualifications they would like to see in a new president. The schedule and locations are being finalized and will be announced shortly.
We look forward to working alongside you on the process.
