Dear campus community,

We are pleased to announce that four finalists have been invited to campus as part of the search for the next dean of the Nistler College of Business & Public Administration at the University of North Dakota.

We encourage all faculty, staff and students to participate in the interview process. Each finalist will participate in an open forum, which includes a 10-to-15-minute presentation followed by a Q&A session. These forums are open to all campus and community members. While in-person attendance is encouraged, virtual participation will also be available via links on the search website.

Biographies and additional information about each finalist’s visit, including links to the candidate feedback surveys, are available on the search website. Surveys will remain open for two business days following each candidate’s visit and will close at 11:45 p.m. on the second business day.
