Public tours will follow the ceremonies. Agenda items for the Board of Trustees meeting include a recommendation on the appointment of a presidential search consulting firm. The firm would assist the board, the Presidential Search Advisory Committee and associated staff in finding a successor to Haenicke, who this summer announced that he would step down as president to return to the faculty, effective July 31, 1998. The board also is expected to consider a recommendation on Haenicke's annual evaluation and compensation. Committee meetings will precede the full board meeting in the same room.
All meetings are open to the public.
