Forums slated for associate vice president of student engagement finalists

A series of WSU community forums are set for March 19-29 with finalists for the associate vice president for student engagement position in the Division of Student Affairs.

The finalists were selected following a comprehensive national search and interview process. Each candidate will visit WSU for two days to meet with students, faculty, staff and administrators.

The candidates will have two open forums during their visits. The forum for WSU faculty and staff will occur 3:10-4:30 p.m. and will be live-streamed. The candidates will present on “Student Engagement at a Top 25 University.” The forum for students will take place 12:15-1:30 p.m.

The open forum dates and locations for each finalist are available at studentaffairs.wsu.edu/avpstudentengagement. Names, biographies and curriculum vitae will be available on this website two days prior to their campus visit.

This position will report directly to Mary Jo Gonzales, vice president for Student Affairs.
