K-Staters are encouraged to participate in the virtual open forum and Q&A session titled, "The Future of Graduate Education at a 21st Century Land-Grant University: Opportunities and Challenges." Search committee chair Dean Amit Chakrabarti will moderate the virtual open forum. Questions for the candidate may be submitted in advance via email to Chakrabarti at amitc@k-state.edu or asked live during the virtual open forum using the chat feature. 

The virtual open forum may be accessed through the Office of the Provost search website at k-state.edu/provost/about/searches/. For those unable to participate live, the virtual open forum will be archived on the provost's search website.
