The college’s board of trustees will host four final presidential candidates for campus visits on November 8, 9, 14, and 15. For each candidate’s visit, the day will include a campus tour, meetings with the executive cabinet, staff, faculty, supervisors, the board of trustees, and lunch with students. Each visit will also include an open community forum from 3:30-4:30 p.m.
The college expects to announce specific meeting locations, along with the candidates’ names, on Nov. 7. Following the visits, the board of trustees will make a recommendation to SUNY for Herkimer’s next president.
