Dear Colleagues, I write to remind you that we have been conducting a national search for candidates to serve as our Vice Chancellor for Diversity, Equity and Inclusion. We are searching for a dynamic and experienced individual to develop, lead and champion a comprehensive and actionable campus diversity strategy. I am excited to announce that we have identified four finalists and invited them to meet the Illinois community. The candidates began making public presentations this week. Dates, times and locations of those presentations are below. Campus community members can offer feedback on each candidate online. Comments will be accepted until 5:00 p.m. on May 3, 2019. Sherri Charleston is Assistant Vice Provost & Affirmative Action Officer at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Christopher Jones, Jr. is Assistant Vice President and Director of Equity at Case Western Reserve University. Leticia Smith-Evans Haynes is Vice President for Institutional Diversity and Equity at Williams College. Sean Garrick is Associate Vice Provost at the University of Minnesota. All four of the presentations will also be streamed live for members of the campus community who cannot be there in person. The streaming link for all presentations will be https://go.illinois.edu/ViceChancellorStream. A valid campus netid and password will be required to access the stream. I want to thank the search committee, co-chaired by College of Education Dean James Anderson and Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs Danita Brown Young, for its careful work in cultivating an excellent pool of applicants and identifying four outstanding finalists. I look forward to welcoming each of them to campus. Sincerely, Robert J. Jones |
