Dear California State University Community:

The California State University Board of Trustees has launched the search for the CSU’s next chancellor, and invites and encourages you to play a critical role in the selection of the next leader of the nation’s largest, most diverse and most consequential four-year university.

The search process includes three open forums where CSU stakeholders will have the opportunity to directly share their thoughts regarding the necessary characteristics of the next chancellor with the committees responsible for guiding this comprehensive and inclusive recruitment.
