Daytona State asks public to weigh in on presidential search

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (April 22, 2015) - The committee charged with selecting the best candidates to be considered for Daytona State College’s top post invites the public to weigh in on

what leadership qualities the institution’s next president should possess.

The Presidential Search Committee has developed an online survey that asks respondents to consider the top seven qualifications and characteristics a college president should have. The survey can be found at DaytonaState.edu/presidentialsearch and will be available through Thursday, April 30.

Survey responses will be used, along with comments gathered at a series of public listening sessions held at all DSC campuses this spring, to develop a presidential profile, a key component of the formal search process.

Headed by District Board of Trustees Vice Chair Forough Hosseini, the search committee is expected to select an independent firm this month that will assist with the search process and help the committee narrow the list of qualified applicants to be considered by the full board later this year.
