Finalists for UMC Chancellor Coming to Campus

Three finalists for the top position at the University of Minnesota, Crookston, are coming to campus next week for their interviews, the university has announced.

Steven S. Hardin, dean of academic affairs at the University of Pittsburgh-Bradford; Karla V. Hughes, provost and vice president for academic affairs, Morehead (Ky.) State University; and Fred E. Wood, vice chancellor for student affairs, University of California-Davis, are seeking to be UMC’s new chancellor.

They were narrowed down from a larger group interviewed earlier this month by a 13-member search committee.

Public forums for all three are scheduled at the Bede CDE as part of their campus visit. Hardin’s will be 9 a.m. Tuesday, Hughes’ will be 9 a.m. Thursday and Wood’s will be 9 a.m. Friday.

They’ll also interview with a select “university stakeholder groups” at UMC and in the University of Minnesota Twin Cities campus.
