University of Montana forms presidential search committee

Clay Christian, Board of Regents http://mus.edu/board/BORinfo.asp vice chair, at the direction of board chair Steve Barrett, has selected the 20-member search committee tasked with finding the successor for University of Montana http://www.umt.edu/future.aspx President George M. Dennison, who intends to retire Aug. 15 after two decades at the helm.

"I feel we have the right group to undertake the difficult job of trying to replace President Dennison," said Clay Christian, the Board of Regents vice chair who will lead the search committee. "George has been one of UM’s chief assets since 1990, and the new president will need to be as dynamic, creative and inspiring as he has been."

The committee will begin the search for the next president immediately. Information about the search process can be found online at http://www.umt.edu/potumsearch.
