Ball State has reached another milestone in the presidential search.
The search committee has done all their interviews and is presenting their final choices for the Board of Trustees to interview.
The holidays, commencement and finals will put a wedge in the timeliness of the interviews, but Matt Momper, head of the search committee, said they hope to get things rolling in December and February. Momper wouldn't put a date on the announcement of the new president, but said the process had to "play out." They're making sure to do the search right and get the best quality president possible.
"As a committee, we're excited for the candidates we have to present to the board for interviews," Momper said.
He said it's a good group, and they've narrowed it down to a manageable amount to interview, but he wouldn't give a specific number.
The search committee is also interviewing transition consultants, who help to make sure the president doesn't get too overwhelmed or bogged down with work once they start, Momper said. The transition consultant sets a plan and works with all the different part of the university to lay out a road map for when the president starts.
