FRESNO – The first meeting of the California State University search committee for a new president for Fresno State will include an open forum from 10 a.m. to noon on Monday, Feb. 11, at the Satellite Student Union on the Fresno State campus. This is the only meeting of the committee that is open to the public.
Dr. John D. Welty, President, California State University, Fresno
The open forum will include:
- Review of the committee’s role
- Comments and input from the public and campus community
- Explanation of the search process and confidentiality
- Discussion of preferred attributes of the next president
- Review of the descriptions and needs of the campus and presidential position
The search will be conducted over the next few months for a new president to succeed President John D. Welty, who is retiring after serving as president of the university since 1991.
The committee will work review applications and conduct interviews, then recommend candidates to the full CSU Board of Trustees for its decision.
It is expected that the CSU Board of Trustees will name a new president in May.
