Dear Members of the Bates Community,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We are very pleased to write with two important pieces of news about the Bates presidential search: the membership of the search committee and a new online resource for information about the search process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The full search committee roster can be found below. The members of the committee \u2014 faculty, staff, students, and trustees, including eight who are alumni and four who are Bates parents \u2014 bring a broad spectrum of experience, expertise, and perspective to the work of searching for Bates\u2019 ninth president. We look forward to working with them over the coming months, and thank them for their willingness to serve the college in this important capacity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
We also want to thank the Committee on Faculty Governance for their work to help identify faculty to serve on the search committee, the leaders of Bates College Student Government for consulting on student representation, and all members of the staff who volunteered to serve or nominated others as potential candidates. We had far more compelling options for committee members than we had spots on the committee \u2014 a true sign of the depth of talent and engagement in the Bates community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We have created a website to provide a comprehensive overview of the presidential search process, which is available here<\/a>. The website has additional information about search committee members as well as other information related to the search. It will be updated throughout the process, and we will also send additional updates via email as appropriate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n While the search committee will take the lead in identifying Bates\u2019 next president, the success of the process is very much dependent on the perspectives of all members of the Bates community as we consider what will matter most to the college in the years ahead and what qualities we should look for in our next president. Many of you have taken part in listening sessions with our search partners at Isaacson, Miller,<\/a> and we hope that many more of you who are on campus will be able to join one of the in-person sessions taking place today and tomorrow. We also encourage you to share your thoughts via this survey<\/a> or by writing to presidentialsearch@bates.edu<\/a>. Your input will inform development of the leadership profile (position description), which we will share once it is complete.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Thank you once again to those who have agreed to serve on the Presidential Search Committee and to all of you who have shared, or will share, your thoughts about Bates\u2019 next president. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Sincerely,<\/p>\n\n\n\n Andrea Conklin Bueschel \u201990 Presidential Search Committee Members:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Andrea Conklin Bueschel \u201990 (co-chair)<\/em> Gregory Ehret \u201991, P\u201923 (co-chair)<\/em> John Baughman Geri FitzGerald \u201975 Aydan Gedeon-Hope \u201925 John Gillespie \u201980, P\u201913, P\u201918 Evelynn Hammonds, L.H.D. \u201911 Faith Hauger David Longdon \u201914 Alexandra Manning \u201923 Lance Matthiesen \u201985 Charles Nero Katy Ott Stacey Rizza P\u201920 Michelle Rosenberg \u201994 Christine Schwartz Anelise Shrout Darryl Uy Jean Wilson \u201981, P\u201905, P\u201913 Special advisor to the committee:<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Scott Bierman \u201977, Trustee Emeritus and President of Beloit College Dear Members of the Bates Community, We are very pleased to write…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":428,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_hide_ai_chatbot":false,"_ai_chatbot_style":"","associated_faculty":[],"_Page_Specific_Css":"","_bates_restrict_mod":false,"_table_of_contents_display":false,"_table_of_contents_location":"","_table_of_contents_disableSticky":false,"_is_featured":false,"footnotes":"","_bates_seo_meta_description":"","_bates_seo_block_robots":false,"_bates_seo_sharing_image_id":0,"_bates_seo_sharing_image_twitter_id":0,"_bates_seo_share_title":"","_bates_seo_canonical_overwrite":"","_bates_seo_twitter_template":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-690","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/presidential-search\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/690","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/presidential-search\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/presidential-search\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/presidential-search\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/428"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/presidential-search\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=690"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/presidential-search\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/690\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":693,"href":"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/presidential-search\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/690\/revisions\/693"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/presidential-search\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=690"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/presidential-search\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=690"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/presidential-search\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=690"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
