I am deeply honored to be joining Columbia University as your next president, and I am enormously grateful to the Board of Trustees and the members of the Presidential Search Committee for the confidence they have placed in me.
The Board of Trustees has unanimously selected Jennifer L. Mnookin, the current chancellor of the University of Wisconsin-Madison, as the next president of Columbia University.
The Presidential Search Committee continues its work with diligence and care. We are encouraged by the depth and quality of the applicant pool, which reflects both the University’s strong reputation and position.
As we begin the fall term, we want to thank all of you who have engaged with the presidential search process to date. Your thoughtful participation has provided valuable insights.
Over the last two months, we have had substantive conversations with faculty, students, staff, and alumni and are pleased to share three important updates regarding the presidential search.
