David Jackson, PhD, interim executive vice president and provost of the University of Nebraska System, will lead the listening sessions. Dr. Jackson will be joined by associates of the firm CarterBaldwin, which is assisting with the search.
The listening sessions’ purpose is twofold, Dr. Jackson said. One, attendees will be able to share the characteristics they would like in UNMC’s next chancellor. Two, Dr. Jackson will outline the process for naming the next chancellor – including the naming of a priority candidate and a required 30-day public vetting period for the priority candidate.
