Chancellor Search and Screen

ASM will select two students to serve on the Search and Screen Committee to select the new Chancellor of the University of Wisconsin - Madison. ASM (Associated Students of Madison) is the official student government of UW-Madison. The Search and Screen will be a significant time commitment beginning at the very start of the Spring semester. It will conclude when the new Chancellor is selected.

If you are interested in applying, prepare a one page, maximum, essay that addresses (a) why you feel you would be a good representative of students on the committee and (b) what qualities or attributes you think are essential for the new Chancellor to have. Also make sure to include your phone number, year in school, and program.

Send the essay as an attachment to an email to Jeff Wright (jawright2@wisc.edu) and Travis Weller (asmsharedgov@gmail.com). You may also attach a one page, maximum, resume (optional).

The deadline to apply is noon, Friday, Jan. 18. Late applications will not be considered.

From the applications, the ASM Chair and the Chair of ASM Shared Governance will select a small number of people to interview. The interview will take place between 5pm and 6pm, Tuesday, Jan. 22, Memorial Union TITU. The interview will occur in front of the entire Shared Governance Committee. This is the only time that interviews will be held. If you are selected for an interview but cannot make the interview time, your application essay will be read aloud to the Shared Governance Committee. The Shared Governance Committee will then vote to select the two student representatives.

The first meeting of the Chancellor Search and Screen will be Friday, Jan. 25 from 2pm to 4pm. If you cannot make that meeting, you are strongly discouraged from applying. Please indicate in your essay whether you are able to attend this first meeting.

If you have any questions, email Travis Weller.

Thanks!
