Search Process
The search committee that recommended Eisgruber's appointment received more than 320 submissions to a website that it established to encourage comments and suggestions and held open forums and other in-person meetings with undergraduates, graduate students, faculty members, staff members, alumni leaders and members of the local Princeton community. It conducted more than 100 sourcing interviews with members of the campus community and with leaders and thoughtful observers of higher education throughout the country. It held eight in-person meetings and three full-committee conference calls between October and April, and carefully considered a number of both internal and external candidates.
