Community Engagement

The University has engaged the search firm Isaacson, Miller to work with the board to manage the search process and community engagement.
Work is underway to solicit input from a broad range of constituent groups, and includes virtual and in-person opportunities. This outreach is helping the special committee better understand what the community seeks in UVA’s next president.
Members of the University community are encouraged to submit their input via an online survey. Responses can be anonymous and are shared directly with Isaacson, Miller.
Isaacson, Miller is accepting applications, nominations and general inquiries.
Community Outreach Sessions
The Special Committee has reached out to all corners of the UVA community for input. These discussions have contributed to the development of the presidential profile and will continue to inform the important work ahead.
