Oct 31 presidential search announcement

Presidential Search Committee update

October 31, 2024

MEMORANDUM

TO:  The Linfield Community

FROM: Kirby Dyess and Marvin Henberg, Presidential Search Co-Chairs

Subject:  Update on the Linfield Presidential Search

We write to report that the search committee has selected four finalists for the Linfield Presidency after completing Zoom interviews with eight very talented and accomplished semifinalists. We ended up with 87 candidates in total, so each of the semifinalists brought forward impressive credentials. It was not easy to pare down to four, and we believe that each of them is eminently qualified. It is important to note that several finalists are in other presidential searches. This means that as we get to know a candidate, we also need to be talking about the many rewards of being part of Linfield University.

Linfield community members can find more information about the candidates and their open forums on the presidential search Central page.
