Timeline
The VCUDAR search advisory committee members were selected in February. Listening sessions will take place throughout the month of February and early March to gather feedback about the opportunities and challenges, qualities and skills, and the priorities for the next VCUDAR. The full leadership profile will be published some time in March. Recruitment for the position has been ongoing and interviews will be conducted in the late spring and summer. While search timelines can change, we anticipate the hiring decision will be made in the late summer or early fall.
Community Feedback Survey
We seek input from the campus community about this critical position. Please submit your input on this online survey. The survey should take approximately 10 minutes. It is a way for the search advisory committee and search consultants to seek input from the Berkeley community in all areas. Information gathered will help identify opportunities and challenges as well as perspectives of ideal qualities of the next VCUDAR. The survey will be available throughout the search.
