LUKE SHANNO EDITOR-IN-CHIEF
The presidential search committee met in the Castle Room of the student center on Monday, Jan. 12, to review résumés of current applicants for Wartburg college president.
The presidential search is still underway, with the search committee working with Jon McRae & Associates, Inc., a consulting firm in Atlanta, to fill the position.
The chairman of the search committee, Ray McCaskey, a 1965 graduate of Wartburg and member of the Wartburg College Board of Regents, said that applications are still arriving, but there have been no decisions on final candidates.
“The end result of the meeting was to be the selection of an initial group of candidates with whom we will be interested in talking further about the presidency at Wartburg College,” McCaskey said in an e-mail statement the day after the meeting.
“The initial review has been completed and the committee is clearly optimistic regarding the caliber of applicants.”
McCaskey does not expect any final decisions to be made until the end of Winter Term.
He said students will have an opportunity to ask questions to help the search committee narrow their decision.
William Hamm is serving as the college’s interim president.
