Two short-listed candidates for provost will make public presentations on the University of Windsor campus next week.

“Both of the candidates are currently in academic leadership roles and the search committee is pleased that they have agreed to explore this important position at the University of Windsor,” says president Alan Wildeman, chair of the search committee.

The University campus community is invited to hear each candidate address the topic of “What in your view are the challenges facing institutions of higher learning today?”

The candidates and the times of each presentation are as follows:
