Dear members of the Columbia community:
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—through conversations with members of the search committee, thousands of responses to the recent survey, and individual suggestions and nominations—has provided valuable insights about the qualities and experiences our community hopes to see in our next leader. You can read more about what we’ve learned.
We are pleased to share that a strong pool of candidates is forming. As we move into the next phase of the search, we continue to welcome nominations and invite you to share suggestions for questions to ask candidates in the interview process. Please send them to [email protected].
Thank you for your input and support as we move forward in this important work. Best wishes for a productive and inspiring start to the academic year.
Sincerely,
David J. Greenwald
