Candidates Announced for Dean and Chief Administrative Officer of Kent State University at Geauga

Dear Colleagues: 

Earlier last week, I announced that three candidates for dean and chief administrative officer of Kent State University at Geauga would be on campus this week. Since that time, one candidate has withdrawn from the search. As such, I am pleased to announce that Jarrod Tudor, Ph.D., interim dean of Kent State Geauga, has been named a finalist and will be included in the campus interviews.

As part of the interview process, each candidate will hold a public presentation at which they will discuss the following:

  • Brief biography/background.
  • Challenges facing higher education.
  • Opportunities and challenges of a regional campus.
  • Experience/examples of interacting with the broader community. 
  • Anything else the candidate would like to mention on how he would approach work specifically as dean and chief administrative officer of Kent State University at Geauga.

I invite and encourage you to attend the following public presentations and provide your input through the surveys below.

The Kent State University Board of Trustees today established a comprehensive, national search to recruit and select the university’s 13th president.

 

The events of May 4, 1970, placed Kent State University in an international spotlight after a student protest against the Vietnam War and the presence of the Ohio National Guard ended in tragedy with four students losing their lives and nine others being wounded. From a perspective of nearly 50 years, Kent State remembers the tragedy and leads a contemporary discussion and understanding of how the community, nation and world can benefit from understanding the profound impact of the event.
