Nipissing University is looking for public input on its search for a new president.

An online survey has been set up to help identify the criteria believed to be important in the selection of the institution’s next President and Vice-Chancellor.

The University has engaged the services of executive search firm, Boyden, to assist with the search process.

The consultation phase is underway and is an important step in ensuring that the University’s community and key stakeholders are part of the recruitment process.

A short, anonymous, online survey is available at: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/nipissingpresident

Officials say the information collected will be summarized by Boyden and then reviewed and considered by the selection committee as it develops the position description, role profile and interview process.

Any interested groups or individuals are asked to fill out the survey on or before November 19, 2020.

Nipissing has also launched a Presidential Search website with additional information about the search process.

Cheryl Sutton has been serving as Nipissing University’s interim president since July 1 following the resignation of Dr. Mike DeGagné who held the role since 2013.

The University anticipates a new President and Vice-Chancellor will be in place by July 2021.
