PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES EXPECTED ON CAMPUS IN MID-JANUARY

AMES, Iowa – The committee working on the search for Iowa State University's next president will continue to evaluate prospects in closed meetings over the next several weeks.

The committee anticipates bringing final candidates for the Iowa State presidency to campus for interviews in mid-January, said Benjamin Allen, chair of the Presidential Search and Screen Advisory Committee and dean of the College of Business.

Former ISU President Martin Jischke left Iowa State in August to become president of Purdue University. Richard Seagrave, distinguished professor of chemical engineering, is serving as interim president.
