Dear OSU-Cascades Students:
I have undertaken a series of conversations with individuals and groups in Bend, Corvallis, and externally to discuss leadership for OSU-Cascades, with the goal of appointing someone to start as Interim Vice President on May 1.
My office has scheduled the following listening sessions THIS AFTERNOON so I can hear from OSU-Cascades students, staff, and faculty regarding the qualifications needed in the interim leader, as well as any other concerns or guidance you wish to share. During the meetings, I will also offer an overview of the process and timeline for the search for the permanent role.
Monday, April 26
100 – 145 pm Members of the Academic Faculty Council, Staff Executive Council, Diversity Council
200 – 245 pm OSU-Cascades Leadership Team
300 – 330 pm Associated Students of Cascades Campus
400 – 445 pm OSU-Cascades faculty, staff, students – an open forum for any person who is interested and did not attend the meetings listed above (Zoom link; Password: 583988)
Additionally, we have created a survey to collect input from those who are not available to participate in the listening sessions and/or would prefer to provide confidential comments: https://oregonstate.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_cvy7rY14hhNJZ9s
Note that the survey will close at 6pm today.
I look forward to this afternoon’s conversations. If you’d like to nominate someone for the interim or permanent roles, email Gigi Bruce, Special Assistant to the Provost by April 27.
Edward Feser
Acting President
