Board of Trustees meeting in special session Friday in Romulus
The Board of Trustees will meet in special session this week to discuss the presidential search and to accept a grant from the Michigan Department of Transportation.
The meeting will be held at 2 p.m. Friday in room 438 of the Detroit Metro Airport Marriott, located at 30559 Flynn Road in Romulus. The meeting is open to the public.
The Board will present a "proposed leadership statement," which has been created via feedback through open forums and through responses left on the presidential search Web site, said Steve Smith, director of media relations.
"It will be a foundation for (the search committee)," he said.
The next step for the search committee is identifying candidates, Smith said. Applications will be accepted until Oct. 1. The search firm, Storbeck/Pimentel & Associates, LLC, will then review applications and present 16 to 20 to the screening committee. The screening committee will then narrow the list down to four to six candidates to present to the Board of Trustees, said Board Vice Chairwoman Stephanie Comai in a previous Central Michigan Life article.
The Michigan Department of Transportation will also be presenting a grant to Central Michigan University toward the renovation being done on West Campus Drive this summer. Smith said although he could not recall the exact amount, he expects it to be more than $300,000.
