Members of the Board Search Committee appointed by College Board President Aubrey Patterson to lead the search for the next president of Alcorn State University will hear from constituency groups in Campus Listening Sessions on Wednesday, February 19. The discussions will center on the qualities and qualifications stakeholders believe the next institutional executive officer should possess.
