Schoolcraft College is offering the opportunity for community members, students, faculty and staff to interact with and offer their comments on the three candidates for the school’s next president. The three finalists are:

“We are excited to introduce our three finalists for the position of President of Schoolcraft College to a wider audience,” said Brian D. Broderick, Chair of Schoolcraft College’s Board of Trustees and leader of the search committee for the school’s next president. “We are looking forward to continuing the dialogue with our candidates and value the input from Schoolcraft College faculty, staff, students and the community.”

Each “Meet the Candidate” session will be via video conference on the Zoom platform, facilitated by the College’s Search Consultant, Angela Provart, President of Pauly Group, Inc. 

If you would like to ask a question, please email the question to her at aprovart@paulygroup.com.
