An Update from the Presidential Search Committee
The St. Francis College Board of Trustees looks forward to soon
announcing the person who will become the 19th President of St.
Francis College, taking over from Interim President Timothy J. Houlihan.
A search committee of 13 people, with the help of outside consultants
Witt/Kieffer, reviewed 80 applications and met with several candidates
before narrowing the field to several semi-finalist.
The committee of faculty, students, administrators, Franciscan
Brothers, alumni, and trustees, is now conducting more in-depth
interviews and tours of campus with the candidates as it works to
present the best candidate to the full Board of Trustees.
“I am pleased to report that we have many very qualified candidates,”
said Denis Salamone ’75, Chair of the Presidential Search Committee.
“On behalf of the Board of Trustees, I am grateful for the committee’s
efforts and I believe the result of their good work will be the hiring of
our next President in the near future.”

committee, and materials shared with the candidates please go to
