The search for a new president for Boise State University is near completion.
The Idaho State Board of Education announced that out of 53 candidates, Boise State has chosen five finalists.
These remaining candidates come from all across the United States and one is from Canada. They hold a variety of leadership positions at their current universities.
The finalists are:
• Dr. James Lentini - Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs and Provost, Oakland University
• Dr. Kevin Reynolds - Vice President for Finance and Administration, Portland State University
• Dr. Jack Thomas – President, Western Illinois University
• Dr. Robbyn Wacker – Senior Campaign Advisor for Development and Alumni Relations, University of Northern Colorado
• Dr. Daniel Weeks – President and Vice-Chancellor, University of Northern British Columbia
The finalists are expected to start visiting the Boise State campus next week.
Open forums are planned for students, faculty and staff, as well as a public reception for community members to meet and hear from the finalists.
Schedules, including open forum dates and times, are posted on Boise State University’s president search webpage.
Boise State President Bob Kustra announced his retirement last November. He will leave the position on June 30.
