Presidential Search Underway

Robert Atwell and Jean Dowdall of A.T. Kearney, a leading, multinational management consulting firm that assists with higher education searches, met with various campus constituencies to begin the process that will result in the selection of Ramapo's third president. The Ramapo College Board of Trustees appointed eleven voting members and two ex officio members to the search.

"A tremendous effort has been undertaken to make sure every constituency -- faculty, staff, the Board, students, alumni, community, and business leaders -- had input to determine the qualifications, leadership characteristics, and vision necessary to lead Ramapo in its mission," says Pamela Bischoff, vice president for student affairs. The ideal candidate will embrace and reflect the historic mission of Ramapo College and its core values: interdisciplinary education, experiential learning, international and intercultural education. The Board of Trustees will select a new president effective June 2001.
