The search committee for CSU’s next vice president for research has selected three finalists. The finalists will visit campus in the coming weeks.

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

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: Sept. 26, 10-11:15 a.m.; Lory Student Center Never No Summer Room
• Candidate 2: Oct. 2, 10-11:15 a.m.; Lory Student Center Never No Summer Room
• Candidate 3: Oct. 9, 10-11:15 a.m.; Lory Student Center Never No Summer Room

Information about the campus open forums, as well as other search information, will be posted online at president.colostate.edu/search-for-vice-president-for-research.

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 website. To access each candidate’s information, enter your CSU netID and password. After each campus open forum, a recording of the forum will be available.
