The Presidential Search

The national search for Auburn University’s 21st president has been completed. Trustee Wayne Smith, the Board’s presidential search chairperson, assembled a 22-member Presidential Search Advisory Committee in September. The Advisory Committee, chaired by Trustee Sarah Newton, worked with executive search firm Greenwood/Asher & Associates, LLC to recruit and vet candidates in order to recommend the finalists to the Board of Trustees.
