The California State University Board of Trustees is launching a nationwide search for the next president of Sonoma State University.
The first meeting of the Presidential Search Committee will be held in a hybrid in-person/virtual open forum from 1 to 3 p.m. Monday, May 5 in the Student Center ballrooms. During this time, the committee will outline the search process and the community will be invited to share their preferred attributes for the next president of Sonoma State.
Campus and community members wishing to address the committee through the virtual option must register in advance on the Presidential Search website. The deadline to register to speak remotely during the open forum is 5 p.m Saturday, May 3. Confirmed registrants will receive details about how to participate. The virtual open forum will be web-streamed live and archived on the search website. Individuals may also provide written submission via the site.
Following CSU policy, the Chair of the CSU Board of Trustees, Jack B. Clarke Jr., has appointed a Trustees Committee for the selection of the president. An Advisory Committee is composed of representatives from the faculty, staff, students and alumni, as well as a member of a campus advisory board, all of whom were selected by the university's constituency groups per their selection criteria.
