Open forums announced for vice president for engagement and extension candidates

The search committee for the vice president for engagement and extension invites the Kansas State University community to attend open forums presented by each candidate.

Reporting directly to the president, the vice president for engagement and extension serves as a member of the President's cabinet and provides executive leadership and strategic oversight for the offices of external engagement, government relations, and economic development and K-State Extension.

All candidate open forums will take place from 10:45 a.m. to 11:45 a.m. in Regnier Forum on the following dates:

• Monday, Oct. 5
• Wednesday, Oct. 7
• Thursday, Oct. 15
• Friday, Oct. 16

Members of the K-State community are encouraged to review application materials and attend each open forum and Q&A session titled, “Role for engagement and extension for a next-gen land grant university." More information on each candidate will be shared on the search website ahead of each open forum.

For those unable to attend in person, the open forums will be streamed live and archived.

There will also be an online candidate feedback survey on the search website. Each feedback survey will close at 5 p.m. two business days following each candidate's open forum, and the presentation will be removed from the website at that time.

Oral or written feedback on the candidates may also be directed to members of the search committee.

Please provide feedback no later than Tuesday, Oct. 20.
