Clemson University’s Presidential Search Committee met on Friday, Jan. 16 to continue the process of identifying Clemson’s 16th president. Led by Committee Chair Cheri Phyfer ’93, the committee received reports on feedback from a variety of community members over the past month and announced an overarching timeline for the search.
“We continue to make outstanding progress in our search with a goal to have Clemson’s next president in place within six months,” said Phyfer. “To date, we have engaged 18 different stakeholder groups including students, faculty, staff, affiliate organizations and local officials, and the dialogue has been thoughtful, insightful and constructive.”
The search committee will provide an update to the full Board of Trustees at its winter quarterly meeting in February and again reiterated its commitment to keeping campus and the community updated through the process.
“I’m energized by the progress we’ve made and confident we are on the path to select Clemson’s next exceptional leader,” said Phyfer. “We also appreciate the assistance of Funk Associates as we finalize the timeline and develop the materials essential to the search.”
