The University of Toledo Board of Trustees is engaging stakeholders in the search for the University’s next permanent president.
UToledo Board of Trustees Chair Patrick J. Kenney announced the formation of a Presidential Profile Committee that will be responsible for drafting the position profile for the University’s 19th president.
“This critical document will describe our University, highlighting our distinctive strengths, culture, values and aspirations for distinguishing ourselves among our peers as we move into the future,” Kenney said. “The position profile also articulates the leadership opportunities that will define success for our next President and the skills and experiences we seek in that individual.”
