Presidential Search
The California State University Board of Trustees has launched a nationwide search for the next president of California State University Monterey Bay.
Following CSU policy, the Chair of the CSU Trustees, Lillian Kimbell, appointed a Trustees Committee for the Selection of the President as listed below. The Advisory Committee is composed of representatives from the faculty, staff, students, and alumni, as well as a member of a campus advisory board, all of whom are selected by the campus's constituency groups per their selection criteria. Also on the Advisory Committee is a vice president or academic dean from the campus, and a president of another CSU campus—both selected by the chancellor in consultation with the Board Chair. Both committees function as one unified group in the search process.
Members of the campus and surrounding communities participated in a virtual open forum with the Trustees Committee for the Selection of President on Feb. 8, 2022. The purpose of the open forum was for the Committee to learn about the type of leader for which the campus and surrounding communities are looking.
