As the University of New Mexico Board of Regents begins its quest to find a new president, the Chamber urges its members and the business community to take part in the upcoming public process.
The University of New Mexico Board of Regents invites faculty, staff, students, and community members to share their perspectives through a series of listening sessions, including listening sessions open to the entire University community, in November to help inform the leadership profile that will guide the national search. The sessions will be in person and allow for virtual participation.
The open forums are:
Tuesday, Nov. 18 – 3 – 4:30 p.m. MST
Location: UNM Student Union Building, Mirage-Thunderbird Room
Virtual: Zoom link to be posted at presidentialsearch.unm.edu
Wednesday, Nov. 19 – 10 – 11:30 a.m. MST
Location: UNM Domenici Education Center North Room 3170
Virtual: Zoom link to be posted at presidentialsearch.unm.edu
Those unable to attend are encouraged to share feedback online at presidentialsearch.unm.edu.
“The feedback we receive from our community will play a vital role in shaping the leadership profile for UNM’s next president,” said Board of Regents Chair Paul Blanchard. “We look forward to hearing directly from the people who make up the core of our university — our students, faculty, staff, alumni, and the New Mexicans we serve.”
In addition to the open forums, the search firm will also host a session on Monday, Nov. 17, with a range of community groups from around the broader New Mexico community to gather input that will help shape the leadership profile.
