FUCHKO NAMED INTERIM, PRESIDENTIAL SEARCH BEGINS

“With this transition, the university has the opportunity to expand its reputation of providing a student-first education and grow academic programs that play a critical role in the region and Georgia,” USG Chancellor Sonny Perdue said. “We’re grateful to Dr. Fuchko for his leadership in the interim, and appreciate the time and attention of the search committee as members prepare to play a critical role in finding Columbus State’s next president.”

The committee met for the first time on Aug. 19. Along with regents, faculty, staff, students and CSU Foundation trustees, CSU Alumni Association board members serving on the Presidential Search Committee include Dr. Marvin Crumbs, Gwen Ruff and Cortney Wilson.

The Presidential Search Committee will guide the first stage of the search. ZRG Partners has been retained to provide search consulting services. At the conclusion of its work, the committee will forward the credentials of three to five unranked candidates to the Board of Regents for consideration.
