Dear Faculty, Staff & Students,



I write to update you on the search for UCR's next Vice Chancellor for
Finance and Administration & CFO (formerly known as the Vice Chancellor for
Planning, Budget & Administration). After many hours of work on the part of
the Search Committee, we are excited to announce that we will be hosting
four finalist candidates. Each candidate will participate in a two-day-long
on-campus interview that includes a campus-wide vision seminar.



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
attendees and will be recorded for later viewing. Each candidate's
application materials will be posted to the executive searches
<https://chancellor.ucr.edu/vice-chancellor-finance-and-administration-chief-financial-officer>
website 24 hours before the beginning of each candidate's interview and
will be accessible only via the UCR network (including VPN connections).



Below are the dates, times, and locations for the vision seminars:

Your input is essential as we move forward in the search, and I encourage
everyone to participate in these seminars.  For those unable to participate
due to scheduling conflicts, each seminar will be recorded and posted to the
 executive searches
<https://chancellor.ucr.edu/vice-chancellor-finance-and-administration-chief-financial-officer>
website. Recordings
will be viewable only from the UCR network/VPN.



Please be advised that feedback will be collected via an online survey
after each candidate's visit.



Thank you in advance for your time and assistance in evaluating the
candidates. Your willingness to provide feedback helps shape the overall
picture of each person's candidacy and qualifications, along with input
from other campus constituents, the search committee, and multiple
references.



Sincerely,



Elizabeth Watkins, PhD

Provost & Executive Vice Chancellor
