January 16, 2014 – Presidential Search Progresses to Interview Phase

The Presidential Search Committee continues to work diligently to recruit Trent University’s 8th President and Vice-Chancellor. I am pleased to report that the process is on track as per the project plan and timeline, and is now in the interview phase of the search process.

Work during this phase continues to be informed by criteria set out in the Position Profile that was established for the recruitment following extensive consultation with Trent’s internal and external communities. Interviews with shortlisted candidates have begun, and are expected to continue into early February 2014.

As you know, recruitments of this nature are highly sensitive, and therefore the Search Committee is committed to maintaining confidentiality throughout this process, in order to ensure Trent is able to attract the very best candidate for the position.

If you have questions regarding the Search Committee or process, please do not hesitate to contact University Secretary Deb deBruijn at debdebruijn@trentu.ca or 705-748-1223.

Sincerely,
Bryan Davies
Chair, Presidential Search Committee
Chair, Executive Committee of the Board of Governors
