We are deeply grateful for the community’s active participation in the search process. Your input and the names of potential candidates you have shared are invaluable to us. The final position specification is available on the presidential search webpage.

We are pleased to inform you that Spencer Stuart has been diligently collating the candidates, and the Board of Trustees Search Committee is methodically reviewing the candidate pool. Candidate interviews are being scheduled, and we are on track to identify our next QU president, who will assume the role in July 2025.

We continue to welcome your input and encourage you to reach out with any further suggestions or feedback. Please feel free to contact us at PresidentialSearch@quinnipiac.edu or QUpresident@spencerstuart.com.

By working together, we will guarantee a seamless transition and a promising future for our community. We value your collaboration and eagerly anticipate finding the 10th president of Quinnipiac University who will uphold our community’s values and continue our path of excellence. 

Thank you for your ongoing support and engagement.
