Please plan to attend the session that best matches your constituency to discuss the following questions:
1. What do you see as the key attractions for this leadership opportunity? What makes you proud to be part of the WVU community and excited about the future?
2. What are the skill sets, experiences, qualifications, credentials and personal attributes needed in the next President?
3. What are the key opportunities and challenges facing West Virginia University? How should the new President seek to capitalize on or address them?
If you are unable to attend one of the virtual or in-person sessions, you still have an opportunity for input by completing the online survey available at presidentialsearch.wvu.edu through Friday (Sept. 13).
