• Moo-Young is dean of the College of Engineering, Computer Science and Technology at California State University, Los Angeles.
Three candidates visited Richland in February. Each candidate’s schedule included multiple interviews, group discussions, a campus tour and giving a presentation about community partnerships, campus engagement and the chancellor’s role to an audience of about 90 faculty, staff, students and community members. More information on each finalist is at http://www.tricity.wsu.edu/search.
"We had three top candidates and two are moving forward to interviews with leadership in Pullman,” said Danny Talbot, co-chair of the search committee and clinical associate professor of educational leadership at WSU Tri-Cities.
James R. Pratt, vice chancellor for academic affairs, has been serving as interim chancellor for the urban campus following the summer departure of Vicky L. Carwein, who left to be chancellor of Indiana University-Purdue University Fort Wayne. Pratt is among the university leaders who will participate in the Pullman interviews on Friday — along with the chancellors of WSU Vancouver and WSU Spokane.
The chancellor is the chief executive officer of WSU Tri-Cities and reports to the president of WSU. As the visionary leader of WSU Tri-Cities, the chancellor provides the direction for campus programs, activities and services. In this role, the chancellor also is responsible for academic leadership, fiscal management and the physical and human resource development of the Tri-Cities campus.
Floyd appointed a 17-member search committee in August 2012 to lead the search for the next chancellor of WSU Tri-Cities. The application process was facilitated by R. William Funk & Associates, a search firm based in Dallas, Texas, that specializes in higher education leadership.
WSU Tri-Cities is located along the scenic Columbia River in Richland, Wash. WSU Tri-Cities was established in 1989 as one of three urban campuses within WSU’s statewide system. WSU Tri-Cities expanded in 2007 to a four-year undergraduate campus offering 18 bachelor’s, 10 master’s and six doctoral degree programs. WSU Tri-Cities values quality, innovation, experiential learning, community collaborations and a campus rich in diversity. Learn more at http://www.tricity.wsu.edu.
