The search for Bluefield State’s next president will be open and community-driven.
We’re selecting a candidate as a campus. The members of the search committee represent the many diverse functions of our dynamic institution and represent the voice and perspective of the campus community.
Search Process
Two groups will play vital, complementary roles in the search for our next president.
Board of Governors
One of the most important roles of the Board of Governors is the selection of a University President. The Board, in collaboration with the search committee chair, has established a search committee to assist in the search process and create a timetable for the selection process.
Search committee
The search committee will be responsible for identifying candidates and selecting finalists to be presented to the Board. Those finalists will be reviewed by the Board of Governors, who will select and hire the next president from that group of finalists. The committee is comprised of Bluefield State University faculty, staff, students, alumnus, community members, and members of the Board of Governors.
