The Board Search Committee leading the search for the next president of Alcorn State University has set the best consideration deadline for applications for Friday, March 1, 2019.

All applications and nominations should be submitted to Parker Executive Search.

"Alcorn State University is a great university with an historic past and a strong fiscal foundation," said Shane Hooper, President of the Board of Trustees and Chair of the Board Search Committee. "It is in a great position to attract candidates of the highest caliber."

Following the best consideration deadline, Campus Search Advisory Committee members will submit at least five candidates unranked to the Board Search Committee. The Board will select the candidates to be interviewed. The interviews will be held in the spring, with the preferred candidate visit tentatively scheduled for April.
