Dear Colleagues,
As we begin the search for CT State's next Provost, I invite interested faculty and staff to a listening session on Tuesday, November 17, at 11 a.m. to share your perspectives on this important leadership role.
We welcome your thoughts on the opportunities and challenges facing our next Provost, what is working well and where improvement is needed, and the qualities and experience you believe we should seek in candidates. Your input will help shape the position profile and guide the search.
Join the listening session on Teams.
The session will have an open-ended format, giving colleagues an opportunity to share constructive feedback about the future of the position.
Thank you for helping us identify the leadership qualities our college needs and for making time to contribute to this conversation.
Sincerely,
