Rollins’ partners in the search process, the Storbeck Search | DSG team of managing director Julie Tea and senior associate Kate Phillips, have been connecting with members of the Rollins community to learn more about the institution’s greatest strengths, the challenges and opportunities awaiting new leadership, and the skill sets and personal attributes most important for our next president to possess.
As a complement to the listening sessions, an electronic Constituent Survey is available for campus community members to share their thoughts regarding the search. The survey can be accessed through this link: Rollins College Constituent Survey – Presidential Search. Survey responses are anonymous and will be collated by the Storbeck Search team. The survey will take five to 10 minutes to complete.
Information from the listening sessions and the survey will provide the basis for the search prospectus, an important document describing the College and the leadership agenda for the next president. Rollins’ consultants will prepare a draft for editing by the Presidential Search Committee before it is distributed to the College community and beyond as we look to build a robust and talented candidate pool.
