April 6, 2023 – Presidential Search Committee Chair, Susan Voss, shares latest update.
Dear Simpson Community,
I write with an update on the search for the next president of Simpson College. I am pleased to report that there was a very strong response to the outreach and recruitment efforts for the search, which resulted in a large pool of talented applicants with broad and varied backgrounds and experiences.
The search committee met last week to identify a group of outstanding candidates to invite for initial interviews. We are extremely pleased with the quality and depth of experience of these candidates. We will continue our work over the next several weeks and into the May term, vetting the candidates and performing the kind of due diligence that you might expect with a presidential search. I will share additional news about the search as the process continues to unfold.
While the search committee continues to observe strict confidentiality to protect those who are engaged in the search, be assured that we are dedicated to the important task and common goal of identifying an exceptional new leader for Simpson College.
Thank you for your continued interest and support.
Sincerely,
Susan Voss ‘75
Chair, Presidential Search Committee
