²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ

To the Mississippi State Campus Community:  
ÌýÌýÌýÌý
Our search for the new ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ provost has moved into its final phase, and the Search Committee has selected, with ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵPresident Mark E. Keenum's approval, three candidates to bring on campus for interviews.   
ÌýÌýÌýÌý
The candidates will be on campus May 9, May 10, and May 14.  Further information will be released as the schedule is finalized, but please mark your calendars and plan on participating in the seminar and open forum discussion that will be held for each candidate.

The Search Committee is mindful of the critical balance between individual privacy and the public's right to know. It is our responsibility to keep constituent groups informed of the progress of the search and we are committed to that course.   
ÌýÌýÌýÌý
To maintain the confidentiality necessary to attract top candidates for as long as is practical, the search committee will provide the university community the names and biographical sketches for each of the three candidates on the day before their individual campus interviews.
