Search committee named for MU provost and executive vice chancellor
On Wednesday, Chancellor Alexander Cartwright announced who would make up the search committee for the University of Missouri’s next provost and executive vice chancellor.
In a release, Cartwright said the committee will work together throughout the next six months to identify candidates. He has asked Joi Moore, professor and director of the school of information science & learning technologies, and Marshall Stewart, vice chancellor for extension and engagement, to be co-chairs of the committee and carry out the search.
The search will be facilitated by Tim McIntosh and the executive search team at UM System.
The university will once again use search firm Isaacson Miller to help identify candidates.
“I have asked that the committee try to complete the search by May 2018 with finalists interviewing on campus in late April/early May 2018,” Cartwright said in his release.
