A nationwide search for a new president of Tusculum is moving forward as a designated search committee begins accepting inquiries from potential candidates.
According to Dr. Greg Nelson, chair of the search committee and a member of the Tusculum Board of Trustees, a series of open forums were conducted in April to collect suggestions, recommendations and advice from campus constituents and community leaders.
“The goal of these sessions was to help outline expectations for the next president of Tusculum,” said Dr. Nelson. “As a result, the search committee, in partnership with the department of marketing and communications and the executive search firm Witt/Kieffer, has developed a dynamic institutional/leadership profile to be used as part of the recruiting process, effective immediately.”
Dr. Nelson added that a presidential search webpage has been created to keep the campus community informed and updated on progress of the search. The webpage contains the Presidential Profile and information about Tusculum for prospective candidates. Interested candidates may contact the search committee and nominations may be submitted via webpage at https://www.tusculum.edu/presidential-search/ or by emailing TusculumCollegePresident@wittkieffer.com.
Detailed information on the required qualifications for the position may be found on the webpage.
The search committee will begin its review of candidates in early July 2017, with the goal of having the new president appointed by early September 2017. Select candidates will be invited to campus in August to engage in dialogue with campus constituents. The campus community will have an opportunity to participate in the interview process and provide feedback during the August visits.
