HUNTINGTON â Marshall Universityâs presidential search committee is planning a second series of on-campus listening sessions for students, faculty, staff, alumni, donors and community members.
The purpose of the sessions, which are set for Aug. 3-4 on the Huntington and South Charleston campuses, is to solicit input about challenges the universityâs next president will face in the next five to 10 years and to identify skills and experiences a successful candidate will need to overcome those challenges.
Two days of listening sessions were held last week on the Huntington campus.
Marshallâs presidential search began in April, when President Jerome Gilbert announced he would not seek an extension of his contract that ends July 15, 2022.
