<p class="MsoNormal">Hi All,</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Please share the attached ad seeking applicants for our SPLS School Director position. We hope to encourage a diverse pool of applicants and so the wider we can distribute the ad, the better. Following Dean Burgess’ direction to hire
a search firm to manage the search, three firms were interviewed and the Buffkin-Baker firm was selected.
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We met with Martin Baker from the firm 2 weeks ago and he outlined that they will be contacting an estimated 400-500 people and using their network to contact Deans, provosts, chancellors and others to seek applicants with the goal of developing
a diverse pool for our search committee to consider.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Best,</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
