Cal Poly Pomona Presidential Search

The Search for Our Next President

The California State University Board of Trustees has launched a nationwide search for the next president of Cal Poly Pomona. The effort is led by a distinguished, multi-constituency search committee. As the #1 Polytechnic University for Diversity & Economic Mobility, Cal Poly Pomona seeks an exceptional leader who will champion our students, mission and values. We invite the campus community and our diverse stakeholders to be part of the process.

Presidential Search Committee

Following CSU policy, the Chair of the CSU Board of Trustees, Jack B. Clarke, Jr., appointed a Trustees Committee for the selection of the president. The Advisory Committee is composed of representatives from the faculty, staff, students and alumni, as well as a member of a campus advisory board, all of whom are selected by the university's constituency groups per their selection criteria. Also on the Advisory Committee is a vice president or academic dean from the campus and a president of another CSU campus — both selected by the chancellor in consultation with the board chair. Both committees function as one unified group in the search process.
