Dear Members of the Kent State University Community,

I am pleased to announce that three candidates from an outstanding pool of nationwide applicants have been chosen as finalists for the position of director of athletics. The finalists were recommended by a 12-member search committee chaired by Vice President for Student Affairs Lamar R. Hylton, Ph.D.

As part of the interview process, each candidate will hold a virtual public presentation.

Attendees will be invited to ask questions following the presentation.
