The appearances come just days after the two other candidates – Cheryl Norton, senior fellow of the American Association of State Colleges and Universities, and Taylor Eighmy, vice president for research and professor at Texas Tech University – toured the campus.
“We are pleased with the quality of the applicants who are seeking this position,” said Gay Selby, chair of the chancellor search committee and clinical associate professor in the College of Education. “We believe the four finalists are particularly strong candidates who offer an interesting range of backgrounds and skill sets. We look forward to hosting them, acquainting them with what WSU Vancouver has to offer and getting feedback from the university community.”
