The finalists, listed in alphabetical order, are:

Next week, the candidates will participate in separate campus forums, offering opportunities for students, faculty, staff, and community members to interact directly with them.
After reviewing campus feedback, Rothman and the Special Regent Committee, comprised of Regents Haben Goitom, Noah Fritz, Linda Terwilliger, and Jill Underly, and chaired by Regent Salzwedel, will interview the finalists. The Special Regent Committee will recommend a single successful candidate to the Board of Regents, which must approve the appointment.
