Dear members of the Connecticut College community,
We are writing with an update on the presidential search process.
Our community provided almost 200 nominations for the 12th president of Conn, and we received nearly 100 applications from candidates with a range of experience, both inside and outside of higher education. It is a deep and diverse pool of individuals with impressive credentials, including many with broad expertise and demonstrated leadership.
In the past month, the Presidential Search Committee has spent many hours reviewing these submissions and discussing them as a group. These discussions have been candid, thoughtful and engaging. Our overriding objective has been to narrow the field to a diverse collection of applicants who can lead the College and have a positive impact both in the near-term and in the years to come.
The Committee has now narrowed the pool to a collection of outstanding candidates whom we will continue to vet and engage over the next month. We look forward to getting to know them better and to learning what they can bring to our community.
We will report back to you next month with our progress as we remain on schedule toward naming the 12th president of Connecticut College in the spring.
Cordially,
Debo P. Adegbile ’91
Chair, Board of Trustees and Committee Co-Chair
Maria Wyckoff Boyce ’85
Vice Chair, Board of Trustees and Committee Co-Chair
