Transcript:

Hello, Friends of Gallaudet. My name is Duane Halliburton and I am the Chair of the Gallaudet University Presidential Search Advisory Committee 2014.

As you know, Gallaudet University has begun its national search for the University's next President. The next President will be assuming the University's top leadership role from current President, Dr. Alan Hurwtiz, who will conclude his service in December 2015.

The next President will have a remarkable opportunity to build on the strengths of Gallaudet University; working with its faculty, staff, students, alumni, donors, partners, and friends to advance a strategic vision for the University's future. The PSAC2014 Committee invites all you to participate in building that future.

We have scheduled four forums throughout the month of November to give you the opportunity to share your thoughts about the role of the next President, both in the community and as the reprensentative of Gallaudet University to the world.

We have also developed an online survey to collect thoughts from a variety of stakeholders on their view of the opportunities, challenges, and desired experience needed for the next President. The survey can be found on the Gallauet PSAC2014 webpage. The deadline to participate in the survey is November 19.

Please know that at any time you may email the committee at Link to share your thoughts and ideas on the Presidential search process or to suggest candidates for President.

In closing, as we prepare to develop this job description for our next president, please do let us know if you know of someone who would make a great Gallaudet University president. Until next time, thank you on behalf of PSAC 2014.
