Transcript:

Hello. I'm Elvia Guillermo… I am a staff representative on the Presidential Search Advisory Committee (PSAC2014).

Recently we reviewed applications for Gallaudet University President. We feel fortunate to receive high interest in the position. This shows the commitment of our community to the future of Gallaudet.

We have begun meeting with individuals with experience and skills that closely match both Gallaudet University's needs at this time and the expectations identified in our community survey and town hall meetings. We feel confident that we have a strong pool of candidates and are ready to start the interview process.


Interviews will happen over the next several months. Afterwards, we will have public campus interviews during the Fall 2015 semester, when everyone is back on campus.
