Search Committee

Following California State University policy, the Chair of the CSU Trustees, Jack B. Clarke, Jr., appointed a Trustees Committee for the selection of the next president of Cal State Long Beach.

The Advisory Committee is composed of representatives from faculty, staff, students and alumni, as well as a member of a campus advisory board, all of whom are selected by the university's constituency groups per their selection criteria. Also on the Advisory Committee is a vice president or academic dean from the campus and a president of another CSU campus, both selected by the chancellor in consultation with the Board Chair. Both committees function as one unified group in the search process.
