Montana Career Opportunity – President – University of Montana

The Montana University System has hired a Washington, D.C.-based consulting firm to help find the next president of The University of Montana-Missoula http://www.umt.edu . Current UM President George M. Dennison plans to retire Aug. 15 after two decades of service.

Academic Search Inc. http://www.academic-search.com/ has completed 177 presidential searches since 2004, as well as 256 searches for executive senior administrators. The firm also assisted with the recent presidential search for Montana State University-Bozeman, which resulted in the hiring of Waded Cruzado.

“We now have a national company helping us do a national search for UM,” said Clay Christian, vice chair of the Board of Regents, which oversees the state university system. “We are working hard to meet President Dennison’s Aug. 15 retirement goal.”

Christian chairs the 20-member committee appointed to spearhead the search for UM’s 17th president. He said the committee made the decision to hire a consulting firm in March, and Academic Search Inc. helped lay the groundwork for the presidential search during the committee’s April 8 meeting in Missoula.

Bill Franklin, senior consultant with Academic Search Inc., encourages nominations of promising prospects or exploration of personal interest in the position by e-mailing [email protected] or calling 830-249-1444.

A presidential search prospectus will be available soon on the UM Web site http://www.umt.edu/potumsearch and on and the Academic Search Inc. Web site http://www.academic-search.com . The prospectus provides detailed information about The University of Montana and its campuses, the position and its requirements, and the procedures for becoming a candidate.
