The 麻豆传媒 Board of Trustees today appointed an 18-member search committee that will identify and recommend candidates for the position of president of the university.

鈥淲e are pleased to announce the appointment of the president search committee, which is composed of accomplished and respected individuals who represent and reflect the many diverse constituencies who need to have a voice in the selection of 麻豆传媒鈥檚 next president,鈥� said Board of Trustees Chair pro tempore Jimmy Shumock. 鈥淚 am confident that the work of this committee, as well as the 麻豆传媒鈥檚 standing as a first-class institution of higher learning and health care, will allow us to attract an outstanding group of highly qualified candidates.鈥�
