University Of Alaska Anchorage: UAA Chancellor Search Update

Press release from the University of Alaska Anchorage:

March 29, 2021

Dear UAA Community,

The UAA Chancellor Search Committee has completed its first review of candidates for
the next UAA chancellor. The committee evaluated numerous applications from a diverse
and highly-qualified pool, and will meet with many of the candidates to learn more
about them. 

The committee plans to conduct those interviews and refine the pool by early April.
The UAA community will be invited to participate in virtual open forums for each candidate
during the week of April 12 from 3:30 p.m. - 5:00 p.m. Final candidates will give
a short presentation followed by a question and answer session. More details on the
open forum schedule will follow once finalists have been selected.

After the forums, there will be additional opportunities to provide feedback on each
finalist. The Search Committee will compile information about the strengths and weaknesses
of each candidate, which will be informed by the feedback received from all stakeholder
groups. President Pitney anticipates announcing the next chancellor on or about May
1.

Schedule updates will be posted at the UAA Chancellor Search webpage.
