Leadership profile developed for UW presidential search

UW community input on the desired characteristics and qualities of the next UW President has been incorporated into a new leadership profile, which is now available on the Presidential Search website.

“Since July, the Presidential Search Advisory Committee (PSAC) has been receiving input into the characteristics and qualities desired in the next UW President, as well as the opportunities and challenges before the University of Washington,” said David Zeeck, UW Regent and chair of the Presidential Search Advisory Committee. “We listened and learned a lot from everyone who participated. I’d like to thank personally everyone who came to a public listening session, filled out our survey or reached out with advice and nominations.”

The leadership profile includes a list of attributes for the ideal presidential candidate, as well as key institutional priorities and background about the structure, accomplishments and current leadership at the UW.

While the open listening sessions have concluded, the PSAC is still accepting nominations via uwsearch@uw.edu.
