UW System President Ray Cross today released the names of the five finalists who will interview for the UW-Stout chancellor’s position. Chancellor Charles W. Sorensen has announced he is retiring as of Aug. 15. The finalists in alphabetical order are: -- Bryan D. Albrecht, President and Chief Executive Officer, Gateway Technical College, Kenosha. -- D.C. Coston, President, Dickinson State University, Dickinson, N.D. -- Richard S. Lapidus, Dean, College of Business Administration, California State Polytechnic University, Pomona, Calif. -- Margaret E. Madden, Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs, State University of New York at Potsdam, N.Y. -- Robert M. Meyer, President, Wisconsin Indianhead Technical College, Shell Lake. From Petre (Nelu) Ghenciu, chair of the UW-Stout Chancellor Search and Screen Committee: This is an extremely strong group of candidates, each of whom could provide the visionary leadership, capable management and strong interpersonal skills needed in our seventh chancellor. I am sure that these attributes, along with their additional unique qualifications, will be evident during their visits to campus. I want to encourage the entire UW-Stout community to participate in the upcoming campus visits with these finalists. Each will make a presentation to campus at 1:30 p.m. and will participate in an open forum at 4 p.m. There will be an opportunity to provide feedback on the candidates. The presentations and the forums will be in Harvey Hall Theatre. The schedule for the visits are: -- Richard Lapidus: May 2 -- Margaret Madden: May 6 -- Bryan Albrecht: May 8 -- Robert Meyer: May 13 -- D.C. Coston: May 15 Ghenciu continued: On May 21, the finalists will be interviewed by President Cross and a special Board of Regent Committee. That committee is chaired by Regent Drew Petersen of Madison and also includes Regent Margaret Farrow of Pewaukee, Regent Tim Higgins of Appleton and Regent Edmund Manydeeds of Eau Claire. They will recommend one candidate to the full Board of Regents, which must approve the appointment. The committee’s recommendation is scheduled to be taken up by the full Board of Regents the following week, and the appointment will be announced after that meeting. Finally, I would like to thank my colleagues on the search and screen committee for their hard work, keen insights and good humor throughout this process. No one could have imagined what this process would be like before we embarked on this journey, and I truly appreciate the dedication of everyone on the committee.
