The search committee for CSU’s next associate vice president of Facilities Management has selected four finalists. The finalists will visit campus the last week of February.

During their campus visits, the finalists will participate in interviews, facility tours and campus open forums.

The campus open forums will be held in-person, with a Teams event link for those who need to attend remotely. The dates, times and locations of the campus open forums are:

• Candidate 1: Feb. 26, 10-10:45 a.m.; Lory Student Center, Room 386; Microsoft Teams

One business day prior to each campus open forum, each candidate’s CV, a Teams event link and an evaluation form will become available on the University Operations website.
