After more than twelve years of remarkable service to the University of Massachusetts Boston, Sherry H. Penney has announced her desire to return to the faculty. While we are saddened by the thought of her departure from the Chancellorship, we celebrate the tremendous advancements realized under SherryÕs leadership. The University of Massachusetts Boston is now poised to seize its place as one of the nationÕs premier urban public institutions of higher education.
I have been asked to Chair the Search Committee which will have the difficult challenge of recruiting the next Chancellor who will be asked to continue our positive momentum and lead us to the next echelon. We are seeking the very best individuals Ð outstanding leaders who can galvanize the University of Massachusetts Boston community to move ever forward in our quest for recognized excellence in all we undertake.
As a valued friend of our University, I am writing to seek your assistance in this important search. Please share with me Ñ or any of the other members of the Search Committee Ñ any nominations or suggestions you would like for us to consider. We are casting a broad net and want very much to include your thoughts and ideas.
Our Search Committee is comprised of 18 members who represent a cross-section of the UniversityÕs many constituencies. Each person has committed his/her valuable time to this effort. Please join me in thanking them for their service to our University.
The Board has also retained the services of R. William (Bill) Funk, the Managing Director of the Education Practice of the international executive search firm of Korn/Ferry International, to assist the Search Committee and Board in this mission. Mr. Funk is perhaps the best known university president search consultant in the country and has recently successfully completed similar searches for University of Illinois at Chicago, Worcester Polytechnic Institute, University of Missouri at Kansas City, Babson College, University of Houston, University of Minnesota - Twin Cities, and Bucknell.
Also working with our Committee will be Susan Kelly, Assistant to the President. Please donÕt hesitate to send your suggestions to Susan if it is more convenient. My sincere thanks to you for your continuing support of the University of Massachusetts!
Kind personal regards,
Diane Bissonnette Moes
