Director candidate presentations for Bristol Bay, Kuskokwim campuses

March 19, 2021

University Relations

Presentations by the candidates for the campus directors of Bristol Bay Campus and Kuskokwim Campus will be held in late March. Everyone is invited to participate and provide feedback to the recruitment committees.

Each finalist will give a 30-minute presentation via Zoom as part of the selection process. It will focus on the candidate’s vision for the campus and what experience and abilities they bring to lead the campus in that direction. It should also demonstrate the candidate’s ability to organize their time, present material clearly, and engage effectively with an audience.

A 15-minute question and answer session will follow each presentation. Presentation attendees will be asked to complete an online feedback form for each candidate. The presentations will be recorded so there will be a few additional days where people can watch the recorded video and submit feedback.
