<p class="xmsonormal">I write to update you on the search for UCR's next Dean of the School of Education (SOE). After many hours of work on the part of the Search Committee, we are excited to announce that we will be hosting three finalist candidates. Each
candidate will participate in a two-day-long on-campus interview that includes a campus-wide vision seminar.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="xmsonormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="xmsonormal">Each candidate's application materials, along with the<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>Zoom<span class="apple-converted-space"> registration
</span>link to participate in the vision seminar, will be posted to the<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><a href="https://provost.ucr.edu/soe-dean-search-finalist-forum-information">Executive Searches</a> website 24 hours before the beginning of each
candidate's interview and accessible via the UCR network (including VPN connections). The vision seminar will be open to the campus community and include a Q&A session. Please note that all vision seminars will accommodate in-person and virtual attendees.
