The search committee for the CALS Associate Dean for Research and Director
of the Ag Experiment Station is pleased to announce the interview schedule
for three outstanding candidates.  The search process was open and
applications from across the country were evaluated.  The top three
candidates will be visiting campus in Tucson on one day and then the
Maricopa Ag Center on a second day.  We encourage you to participate in one
or more of their open forums (schedule is below) as we seek input from the
broad CALS community.  

 

Each candidate will meet with multiple groups during the visit.  From 3-5pm
on the first day they will give a 20 minute presentation on their vision for
CALS research followed by an hour and a half of questions from the audience.
We will videotape the presentations and make available online and will have
a process for questions conveyed by online.  INFORMATION ON HOW TO ACCESS
ONLINE PRESENTATIONS (EITHER DURING OR AFTER) CAN BE FOUND AT:

On their second day of visit, they have a similar forum hosted at the
Maricopa Ag Center (BigMac).  Evaluation sheets will be available at the
forums or can be accessed at the link above.
