Three presidential candidates to visit CSC
Three candidates for Chadron State College president are scheduled to visit the campus next Wednesday and Thursday, June 1-2. They are Dr. Jonathan Lawson, former vice president for academic affairs at Idaho State University; Dr. Janie Park, provost and vice chancellor for academic affairs at Montana State University-Billings; and Dr. John Schwaller, vice chancellor for academic affairs and dean at the University of Minnesota-Morris.
Stan Carpenter, executive director of the Nebraska State College System, said the three candidates received “strong approval” and were invited to campus after the search advisory committee had narrowed down a pool of more than 70 applications and nominations.
Open sessions for community members will be Wednesday at the Chicoine Atrium of the Sandoz Center. They are 4:45-5:15 p.m. for Lawson, 5:30-6 p.m. for Park and 6:15-6:45 p.m. for Schwaller.
This will be the second group of presidential candidates to visit Chadron State this year. Three visited the campus in January, but none was hired.
The position became vacant when Dr. Thomas Krepel, Chadron State’s ninth president who has served seven years, announced his resignation in the spring of 2004. His contract will end June 30.
