Message from Chancellor Rogers to ECU Community
I am pleased to share that we are launching a national search for our next Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs. This role is critical to the university’s future, and I am committed to partnering with our community to identify an entrepreneurial, collaborative, and forward-thinking student-centered administrator who will serve as a key partner on the university’s senior leadership team to champion student experiences in advancing our mission of student success, public service and regional transformation.
The first step in this important endeavor is to appoint a search committee to navigate the process. I am grateful that Stephanie Coleman has agreed to guide this effort as chair of the committee alongside Chris Stansbury as Co-chair. We have also identified and named a talented group of leaders representing a wide array of campus stakeholders to participate as members of the search committee. My thanks to the following individuals for their willingness to serve.
Search Committee –Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs:
- Stephanie Coleman (Chair) – Vice Chancellor, Administration and Finance
- Chris Stansbury (Co-chair) – Associate Vice Chancellor/Senior Operating Officer, Division of Student Affairs
- Aisha Powell – Chair, Staff Senate
- Angela Anderson – Associate Vice Chancellor, Chief Academic Success Officer & University Registrar
- Anne Ticknor – Chair-elect, Faculty Senate
- Dennis McCunney – Director, Intercultural Affairs
- Emily Yates – Student Government Association Vice President
- LaKesha Alston Forbes – Chief Diversity Officer/Associate Provost for Equity & Diversity/Title IX Coordinator
- Lanika Wright – Director, Student Health
- Lauren Thorn – Associate Dean of Students
- Peter Groenendyk – Associate Vice Chancellor, Campus Living
- Scott Shook – Chair, Board of Trustees
- Todd Fraley – Interim Dean, Honors College
We have engaged the support of the UNC System Office’s talent acquisition staff to assist the committee with this important process. A timeline will emerge soon once the committee work begins in earnest, but it is my expectation we will bring finalists to campus during the summer and have the new vice chancellor seated in early Fall 2022. I look forward to a productive and thoughtful search process and extend my thanks in advance to all members of the campus community for your support.
