Finalist interviews will take place in late March through mid-April. Dates and times for the public forums with each finalist will be announced soon.

鈥�I鈥檇 like to thank Dean Adler and the committee for their dedication and extensive work in selecting our finalists to lead our nationally ranked College of Engineering and Applied Science,鈥� Moore added.听
Editor's note: Last spring鈥檚 search process did not result in a hire; this past fall, a new process was launched to arrive at this suite of finalists.
