[Cce-all-list] Your Feedback on LSCCE Head Candidates Matters
by Arvind Raman 07 May '26

07 May '26

Lyles School of Civil and Construction Engineering Faculty and Staff, As we move into the final stages of the search for our next Bowen Head of the Lyles School of Civil and Construction Engineering, I want to personally emphasize how important your feedback is to this process. Even if you did not meet or listen to the candidate, please look over their applications materials and offer your thoughts. Faculty and staff perspectives are an essential part of my decision-making. Your observations-whether from candidate seminars, meetings, group discussions, or individual interactions-provide critical insight into how each candidate may lead the school and advance its mission. I and the search committee read this feedback carefully and value your candid, thoughtful input. Links to each of the seminars and feedback surveys can be found below.
