The Iowa Board of Regents has announced the dates of the public forums for the finalists to become the next president at Iowa State University. They are working to fill the vacancy being left by Wendy Wintersteen, who will retire in January. The open forum schedule is as follows:

• Tuesday, Nov. 4, 4 to 5 p.m. in the Durham Great Hall of the Memorial Union
• Wednesday, Nov. 5, 4 to 5 p.m. in the Durham Great Hall of the Memorial Union
• Thursday, Nov. 6, 4 to 5 p.m. in the Durham Great Hall of the Memorial Union 

Live video streaming of each public forum will be available on the Iowa Board of Regents website.

The ISU Presidential Search Committee conducted interviews with eight semifinalists on Oct. 20-21 and recommended four finalists for campus visits. Three candidates accepted. 

Each candidate’s name will be announced publicly 24 hours prior to their day on ISU’s campus. At that time, the candidate’s curriculum vitae will be made available on both the board’s website and the ISU presidential search website.

Following the campus visits, the board will meet in closed session Nov. 11 at Iowa State University to hear from the co-chairs of the search committee, interview the finalists, and select a new president. The public introduction of the new president is tentatively scheduled for 6 p.m. in ISU’s Memorial Union.
