Dear Faculty, Staff and Students,

- GianMario Besana, Associate Provost for Global Engagement and Online Learning, Co-chair
- Stephanie Dance-Barnes, College of Science and Health Dean, Co-chair
- Kate Barrett, College of Science and Health
- Shaye Loughlin, College of Law

- The Rev. Christopher Robinson, C.M., Congregation of the Mission member
- Abdul-Malik Ryan, Mission and Ministry
- Sonia Soltero, College of Education
- Alexandra Tomaszewski, College of Science and Health student

To help us find the best candidate, DePaul has engaged Partners in Mission, a national firm with expertise in conducting executive searches at Catholic institutions. The firm will manage the search, including candidate sourcing, applications and initial vetting.
Partners in Mission will spend time on campus this fall meeting with key stakeholders from across the university. Those conversations will shape what we are looking for in this leader and will inform the final job description.
The broader DePaul community will have the opportunity to meet candidates near the end of that process, and we will share those details well in advance. If you would like to recommend a candidate or have questions about the search, please contact
VPMissionandMinistry@depaul.edu.
We appreciate your engagement in this important work and will keep you informed as the search moves ahead.
Sincerely,
Arbin Smith
VP Strategic Initiatives and External Affairs | Chief of Staff, Office of the President
