Presidential Leadership Profile

05/20/2024

Dear members of the SLU Community, 

I am writing with an update on the search for Saint Louis University's next president. Along with the Presidential Search Committee, I am grateful to the many members of the SLU community who participated in the various listening sessions held over the past weeks and the online community survey. I was heartened by the level of engagement and interest in the search as well as the passionate support and care for SLU and its future.

Based on the feedback we received from across the community, we have finalized the Presidential Leadership Profile which is now available on the Presidential Search website. The profile will be shared with leaders across the globe as we recruit candidates who are dedicated to SLU's mission and prepared to lead the University.

We invite you to share the Leadership Profile across your networks, as well as to nominate outstanding leaders who might be promising candidates. Names may be submitted directly to our search partners at WittKieffer at SLU-President@wittkieffer.com.

At this point, the search process will involve a period of active recruitment until early fall. We will continue to provide updates in the months ahead as the search progresses.

On behalf the search committee, please accept my sincere thanks for your continued support of SLU. I am pleased to reach this exciting phase of the search and look forward to the process ahead.

Sincerely,

Joseph Conran, '67 '70
Chairman of the Board of Trustees
Presidential Search Committee Chair
