Provost search finalists to visit campus for open forums

The University of Iowa search committee for the executive vice president and provost has selected four finalists. The candidates will visit campus over the next three weeks to participate in public forums and meet with faculty, staff, and campus leadership.

All of the open forums will take place in the Iowa Memorial Union, Big Ten Theater (room 348). The dates and times of the forums are:

• Wednesday, Jan. 16, 3:30 to 4:30 p.m.
• Monday, Jan. 28, 3:30 to 4:30 p.m.
• Thursday, Jan. 31, 3:30 to 4:30 p.m.
• Thursday, Feb. 7, 3:30 to 4:30 p.m.

The names of each candidate will be announced in Iowa Now the day before they are scheduled for an open forum. At that time, the candidate’s curriculum vitae will be made available on the Provost search website.

UI President J. Bruce Harreld announced the search committee co-chairs and members in April 2018. Harreld appointed College of Public Health Dean Sue Curry interim executive vice president and provost in April 2017. Curry began serving after Executive Vice President and Provost P. Barry Butler became president of Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in Daytona Beach, Florida. The UI has retained Isaacson, Miller, a national executive search firm, to assist in the search.

Harreld will make the final selection after the campus visits.
