To the Albany College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences Community:
Our search for ACPHS’ next President is progressing. This update will summarize what the Search Committee has accomplished with the support of our executive search firm Greenwood Asher & Associates.
Thank you to the campus community for your interest, support and participation in the listening sessions and survey as we launched this ambitious search. During the Planning / Research phase of our search, the committee:
• Held 10 ‘Listening Sessions’ with key stakeholder groups to understand what ACPHS is looking for in its’ next President and learn the ‘Points of Pride’ for ACPHS.
• Conducted a ‘Town Hall’ campus community survey to cast a wider net for stakeholder participation (n=403).
• Developed a
Presidential Search microsite for ACPHS.edu to advertise the position, educate interested parties about the College, keep the College community updated and accept nominations (which go directly to Greenwood Asher).
We are now in the Recruiting phase of the search
as indicated here on the full search timeline. Our search firm is actively in outreach mode soliciting interest and qualifications, following up on nominations, and enthusiastically presenting the position nationwide.
The Evaluation phase will begin in mid-January when the Search Committee will convene to review the prospects.
Results of the ‘Town Hall’ survey will be shared in a separate communication. We have received great feedback from the community. We want to thank the Search Committee for their ongoing efforts and specifically our Faculty Senate and SGA delegates who worked to encourage participation in the online survey.
We will continue to keep you posted on the Presidential Search and encourage your suggestions and feedback as we seek our next leader for ACPHS. If you have any questions on the recruiting process, or would like to confidentially submit a candidate, please email the person's name and contact information to
PresidentSearch@acphs.edu. This email address is monitored only by our search firm.
