The three finalists for president of Cleveland State Community College will have a series of receptions and interviews Monday-Thursday.
Finalists are Gene Couch, Jr., executive vice president of Alamance Community College in Graham, N.C.; Niles Reddick, vice president for Academic and Student Affairs at Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College in Tifton, Ga., and William Seymour, vice president for Institutional Advancement at Jackson State Community College in Jackson, Tn.
The finalists' interviews with the Presidential Advisory Search Committee will be Wednesday at 9:15 a.m. in the George R. Johnson Cultural Heritage room.
Later, Tennessee Board of Regents Chancellor John Morgan will announce his plans to recommend a candidate as the next president and the Board of Regents will meet to consider Chancellor Morgan's recommendation for the next president of Cleveland State.
Officials said, "These campus-wide interviews are designed to give faculty, staff and students an opportunity to not only be involved in the process, but actively engaged with the candidates through questions and comments.
"Please note that there are campus-wide interview sessions scheduled for each candidate. Anyone can attend the campus-wide interviews to ask questions and meet the candidates. The only activities not open to everyone will be the direct report lunches and scheduled dinners."
The college has set up Internet streaming for individuals who want to watch and listen to the Presidential Advisory Committee Interviews of the candidates on Wednesday (seating in the interview room is going to be limited to media, vice presidents, and other direct reports). Attendees will not be able to ask questions, as that will be reserved for the committee.
Alumni and community members are encouraged to attend the community receptions for each candidate. Cleveland State people are also welcome to attend those receptions.
The Board of Regents has a web page dedicated to the Cleveland State search process. It includes PDF copies of the three finalists' cover letters and curriculum vitae: http://www.tbr.edu/offices/chancellor.aspx?id=9027
