Set up informal and formal meetings with firm meeting times. During informal meetings, interested parties may have conversations exploring how the candidate may interact with various NMSU constituencies. Informal meetings might include prospective faculty members meeting with the staff of the Vice President of Student Affairs, faculty members from other disciplines, or student organizations. Formal meetings are those meetings with the Search Committee and persons with whom the successful candidate would work. Arrange travel and accommodation plans with the candidate.
Some departments have travel agents with whom they prefer to make travel arrangements.
They may also have preferred hotels or motels. If an accommodation is requested, every effort should be made to comply. The ADA Coordinator is also available at 646-7795 to assist with any questions related to disabilities. Discuss reimbursement arrangements with the candidate. There may be occasions when only a fixed percentage of the travel costs will be accommodated due to budgetary constraints.
