Dear UAA Community,

As chairs of the UAA CAS Dean search committee, we are pleased to announce the finalists for the position and the process for virtual campus visits April 12-16.

Our search generated international interest and produced a large set of initial applicants. Over several weeks, committee members reviewed the applications and interviewed the most qualified individuals, leading us to the advancement of four outstanding finalists.

Please save the dates for the one-hour virtual open forums: April 12, 13, 14 and 15, from 1 p.m. to 2 p.m.

Information for obtaining the open forum Zoom link and finalists' names can be found on the UAA Leadership Recruitment page on April 9.
