Recruitment advertising for the next Metro State president is now under way, with an advertisement appearing in last Sunday's Denver Post and an ad slated to appear in this week's Chronicle of Higher Education and other publications.

"Now we'll be able to see what kind of interest in the position there is," said Search Advisory Committee Chair John Buechner, president emeritus of the University of Colorado.

Applications and nominations are "strongly urged" to be submitted by March 10, although the search committee will continue to review applications until the position is filled.

The position specification is available online at http://www.mscd.edu/welcomectr/trustees/pres_search/index.htm. In addition, information about the Presidential Search Committee, including member's names and scheduled meetings, is also included. Visitors to the web site are invited to provide feedback about the search for Metro's president.
