Alaska Pacific University President Search Finalists

APU announced this morning:

The five finalists to be the 9th President of Alaska Pacific University and the dates of their campus visit are:
  • Dr. Betsy Vogel Boze, former Campus Dean and CEO Kent State University at Stark, North Canton, OH Monday & Tuesday November 16th & 17th

  • Ms. Bernice Joseph, Vice‐Chancellor Rural, Community & Native Education University of Alaska, Fairbanks, AK Thursday & Friday November 19th & 20th

  • Dr. Steven Corey, Executive Vice President Prescott College, Prescott, AZ Thursday & Friday December 3rd & 4th

[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.]
