Amherst College - Search for the President - Scoping Survey

Over the coming months the Presidential Search Committee - a group including trustees, faculty, staff, students, and alumni - will explore many avenues for securing a field of presidential candidates that is as broad and talented as possible. As we commence our work, the committee will define the qualities and qualifications that are important for our next president. To that end, we are hosting a series of listening sessions across the College community to gather advice. This survey is aimed at capturing the views of members of the community who may not be able to join a listening session. We are grateful to all who respond to this survey and will pay close attention to your responses.
