Members of the Board Search Committee leading the search for the next president of Mississippi Valley State University will hear from constituency groups in Campus Listening Sessions on Tuesday, August 27, 2013. The discussions will center on the qualities and qualifications stakeholders believe the next institutional executive officer should possess.

The Campus Listening Sessions will begin at 7:30 a.m. and conclude at 1:30 p.m. on the campus located at 14000 Highway 82 W. in Itta Bena, Miss. While all sessions are open to the public, each session focuses on the needs of a specific constituency group.

“We hope to have great participation in the sessions throughout the day,” said Trustee Shane Hooper, Chair of the MVSU Board Search Committee. “It is important to hear voices from all facets of the campus community so that we can ensure we find the best possible person to lead Mississippi Valley State University.”
