The executive search firm, Heidrick & Struggles, has been selected to assist the University at Albany's presidential search. Ellen E. Brown is the Principal with Heidrick & Struggles working directly with the presidential search committee. Ms. Brown is joined by Nathaniel Sutton. The selection of this executive search firm was the culmination of a competitive process involving the presidential search committee and the University Council.

The presidential search continues to move forward. We anticipate the 18th President of UAlbany will be eventually selected from among a group of substantial and well-positioned finalists. All campus constituencies will have the opportunity to meet the finalists. We encourage your participation and anticipate your input.
