On-site forums with CITO finalists

The CITO search committee narrowed the field to four finalists, and on-site interviews and stakeholder meetings are being held in-person (Butrovich 109) and over zoom. The candidates have the opportunity to introduce themselves, talk about their experience, and explain why they think they're a good fit for the position. After that, we open for Q&A/discussion.

The first three candidates held their forums July 20, July 21 and July 25. (Requires °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±applogin to access.)
