An 11-member search and screen committee, led by Regent Tracey Klein and UW-Whitewater Associate Professor Eric Compas, recommended a list of finalists. The Special Regent Committee determined that the finalists shown below will continue in the selection process.

The four candidates will participate in separate public forums, from May 2-10, offering opportunities for students, faculty, staff, and community members to interact directly with them. There will also be opportunities to provide feedback on the candidates to the search committee.

The Whitewater open forums will be live streamed. Faculty, staff and students who are unable to attend in person will be able to access the livestreams using their NetID and password. Community members can request livestream access here >>
