UW-Whitewater students and faculty got the opportunity to give feedback on what they want to see from the school’s next chancellor at a listening session Monday afternoon.

Students and campus members said they’d want someone who is people oriented and is high engaged in the area and will be engaged in the community as well as the campus. Another member said that student retention and setting students up for success is important.

Faculty Senate Chair Tracy Hawkins says she wants to make sure faculty and staff are on campus when finalists visit and they don’t schedule forums during the December and January holiday breaks.

A second open forum session will be held again Tuesday from 5:00 to 6:00pm at the Timmerman Auditorium on the Whitewater campus.
