The Search for a New University President
The Board of Regents and Texas A&M University System Chancellor John Sharp announced the formation of a search committee tasked with finding the next President of Texas A&M University-San Antonio.
“Texas A&M University-San Antonio is the fastest growing university in the A&M System,” said John Sharp, Chancellor of The Texas A&M University System. “Selecting a leader capable of taking this campus to the next level is a critically important task. I am confident this committee of local campus leaders and civic icons is up to the task.”
The president reports directly to the chancellor and is responsible for implementing system policies and effectively leading the institution; sustaining and enhancing the institution’s mission and overall operations; and fostering and building upon the existing traditions, distinctiveness, and strengths of the university. The search committee will consider all candidates with significant leadership experience; experience as a tenured faculty member is preferred.
