A critical early step in this process is engaging broadly with our community to ensure that the priorities, aspirations, and values of the university are fully reflected in the leadership profile for our next president. To that end, we are pleased to announce a series of listening sessions with our search consultants.

These sessions are designed to provide faculty, staff, students, alumni, and other stakeholders with an opportunity to share perspectives on:

  • The qualities, experiences, and leadership attributes most important in our next president
  • The opportunities and challenges facing University of Puget Sound
  • Our points of distinction that should be extolled to prospective candidates

Input gathered through these conversations will play a vital role in shaping the presidential leadership profile and guiding the recruitment and evaluation of candidates.
