On behalf of the Board of Trustees, I am pleased to share additional information on the search for the college’s eighth president. As you know, the Board has contracted with RH Perry to partner with Hudson Valley and SUNY to facilitate the search.
Counsel from the firm will be on campus next week for listening sessions and meetings with students, employees and community members. To begin, Dr. Gena Glickman, the college’s liaison from RH Perry, will present on the search process and outreach efforts during the State of the College Meeting on Monday with additional sessions to follow. I hope you will save the date(s) to participate and share your perspective where possible.
