The Wichita State University Presidential Search Committee is gathering opinions to help shape the position description for WSU's new president.

John Bardo, the 13th president of WSU, died in March. A search committee has been appointed by the Kansas Board of Regents to hire the university's next president.

Students, faculty, staff, alumni, donors and the community -- no matter their relationship with WSU -- are invited to share feedback on the presidential search through an online survey launched today (Tuesday, May 28).
