During their public interviews, each candidate will deliver a presentation, “Opportunities and Challenges Facing the University of Minnesota, Crookston.” The forums will provide an opportunity for the greater university community to meet and hear from the candidates. They will be recorded and posted on the chancellor search website soon after the presentations are held.

In addition to the public forums, each of the candidates will interview with select university stakeholder groups on the Crookston and Twin Cities campuses.
