Hesston College is pleased to announce three finalists for the position of Hesston College president will visit campus in the coming weeks. These candidates will have a series of meetings and interviews with Hesston’s faculty and staff, as well as an evening meet and greet event open to the greater Hesston community.
Each of these meet and greet events will take place at Hesston Mennonite Church in the community center from 7 to 8 p.m. Community members are invited to attend and hear from the candidates, learn about their visions for Hesston College and participate in a Q and A session. The public events are scheduled as follows:
- Candidate 1: Monday, November 18
- Candidate 2: Thursday, November 21
- Candidate 3: Monday, November 25
The presidential search committee, chaired by Hesston College board member and alumna Luanne (Yoder) ’81 Southern, has been diligently working to identify the next leader of Hesston College.
“We are excited to share this next step in the search process with the campus and the greater community,” Southern says. “Each finalist brings unique strengths, and we look forward to hearing their perspectives and engaging in thoughtful discussions about the future of Hesston College.”
Candidate names and short biographies will be shared on Hesston College’s social media channels two days before each visit. The community is encouraged to participate in welcoming the finalists at the meet and greet events and provide feedback afterward through an online survey; the survey link will be provided at the meet and greet events. If unable to attend in person, virtual meeting links are available on the Hesston College website at hesston.edu/presidential-search.
