Alaska Pacific University President Search Finalists
APU announced this morning:
[Update 2:45pm: APU wants to keep the candidate review process in house. It also turns out that one of the candidates is someone I know fairly well and I've met one, possibly two, of the other candidates. I'm used to the far more public process at UAA, but that is a public university and APU is private. So I'll respect their decision to only invite people in the immediate APU community to meet the candidates and await their further announcements.]

- Dr. Betsy Vogel Boze, former Campus Dean and CEO Kent State University at Stark, North Canton, OH Monday & Tuesday November 16th & 17th
