President Search

The Search For Our Next President

The California State University Board of Trustees has launched a nationwide search for the next president of Cal State San Bernardino.

Following CSU policy, the Chair of the CSU Board of Trustees, Jack B. Clarke, Jr., will appoint a Trustees Committee for the selection of the president. The Advisory Committee will be composed of representatives from the faculty, staff, students and alumni, as well as a member of a campus advisory board, all of whom are selected by the university's constituency groups per their selection criteria. Also on the Advisory Committee is a vice president or academic dean from the campus and a president of another CSU campus—both selected by the chancellor in consultation with the board chair. Both committees function as one unified group in the search process.
