Evaluation Team Profile
Characteristics of Team Chair

An appreciation of the key role of liberal arts, humanities, and sciences across undergraduate programs, familiarity with a broad array of graduate and professional programs, an appreciation of mission committed to serving others, and experience in a multi-campus, urban setting are essential.
