Bradley University’s Board of Trustees is ready to move forward on the search for a new university President. Joanne Glasser announced last month she’s retiring after eight years on the job.
The school’s Board of Trustees announced Monday it’s appointing a 12-person search committee made up of faculty members, as well as others selected by the board’s executive committee. A yet to be named search firm will also assist in the process.
The goal is to have a new President in place before the fall semester. Glasser’s last day on the job is May 31st.

1. Jason Blumenthal (Student Representative), Student Body President, Bradley University

3. David Bozeman (Board of Trustees member), Senior Vice President, Caterpillar, Inc.
