EIU began the strategic process of selecting its next President following the University’s October 2021 State of the University address, when current EIU President Dr. David Glassman publicly announced his intention to retire in July 2023. Since then, EIU’s Presidential Search Advisory Committee has worked with higher education consultants Greenwood/Asher & Associates, Inc. to coordinate EIU’s presidential search process.

More detail on the process, steps, and people involved is publicly available at www.eiu.edu/presidentsearch/timeline.php.
