This week, the St. Bonaventure University community received an update on the university’s search for an interim president. Robert Daugherty, chair of the Board of Trustees, announced he had appointed an ad hoc committee to assist in finding potential candidates for the interim president position.
The committee consists of members from the Friar community, the Cabinet, the faculty and the Board of Trustees. These 6 members include Fr. Francis Di Spigno, O.F.M., Dr. Joe Zimmer, Ph.D., Leigh Simone, Ph.D., Ray Dee, Bill Lawley and Laurie Branch.
The committee’s role is to act as advisors towards Daugherty’s decision on who he will recommend as the university’s interim president to the Board for its approval. The university also has a partnership with The Registry, an organization St. Bonaventure has used for interim appointments in the past, to help find potential candidates for the interim president position. The committee is also accepting direct recommendations of people who have an affiliation with the university, and people can nominate someone for the position by contacting anyone on the ad hoc committee or Robert Daugherty at rdaught@sbu.edu.
