Since our last update in the January 29 edition of the Insider, Sheridan’s Presidential Search Committee has been hard at work to recommend a candidate to Sheridan’s Board of Governors to be our next President and Vice Chancellor. To view the profile, membership of the Presidential Search Committee, and other details, please visit the Presidential Search page on Sheridan’s website.
The Presidential Search Committee would like to thank all members of the Sheridan community who contributed to the development of the position profile during 2017 through the online anonymous survey and many focus groups that were held.
Sheridan received a large volume of expressions of interest from highly qualified candidates across Canada, with broad diversity in academic disciplines, prior post-secondary experience, gender, ethnicity and previous leadership positions. Following detailed discussions and deliberations, the Presidential Search Committee, with the assistance of PhelpsGroup (an Executive Recruitment firm), has now narrowed down an impressive shortlist of candidates to continue on in the process.
The Presidential Search Committee is encouraged by the genuine level of optimism and excitement expressed by all of the shortlisted candidates at the prospect of leading Sheridan in the future.
The Presidential Search Committee will hold interviews throughout May and remains confident that it will meet its objective to recommend a candidate to the Board of Governors shortly thereafter. As a result, the Board of Governors anticipates being in a position to announce Sheridan’s eighth President and Vice Chancellor this summer.
