Presidential Search Committee

Dear Members of the Mount Mary University Community,

We are pleased to share with you today a list of Presidential Search Committee members. These generous individuals have committed themselves to working diligently on the university’s behalf, keeping Mount Mary’s mission at the forefront as they review candidates for presidential service. Each brings a particular area of expertise that contributes to the whole, and yet each is asked to think with a university-wide view, rather than represent a particular constituency. Within the list there are trustees and trustee-alumnae; members of the faculty, staff, and student body and School Sisters of Notre Dame.

The work of the Search Committee is very important, but it is not the only group who will meet finalists for the Mount Mary presidency. Selected faculty, staff, students, trustees, alumnae, and community partners will also be invited to take part in on-campus candidate visits, after which the Search Committee will make recommendations for consideration by the Board of Trustees.

Please keep these colleagues in your prayers in the coming months and, as always, never hesitate to offer your thoughts on the search through the Presidential Search here.

We are grateful for each of these Search Committee members and all that they bring to the work of securing and expanding Mount Mary’s future.

Kind regards, Stephanie Russell and Mary Jo Layden
Co-chairs
