UMN Morris Chancellor Search

Since July 1, 2021, Janet Schrunk Ericksen has been serving as the acting chancellor of UMN Morris. In September 2022, University of Minnesota President Joan Gabel announced the national search for the next UMN Morris chancellor. Peh Ng, acting dean and vice chancellor for academic affairs at UMN Morris, and Michael Rodriguez, UMN Morris alumnus and UMN Twin Cities dean of the College of Education and Human Development, are the co-chairs of the search committee.

President Gabel stated, “We are committed to a fully consultative process, including ensuring substantial Morris representation on the search committee and considering input from the entire campus community, in alignment with the UMN Morris constitution.”

The leadership transition is planned for the summer of 2023.
