The Lawrence University Board of Trustees, which is responsible for electing Lawrence's presidents, has launched a presidential search. The presidential search committee is chaired by board vice chair Cory Nettles '92, vice-chaired by board secretary Sarah Schott '97 and includes 15 other members of the Lawrence community. Members of the search committee are listed below. Lawrence selected Isaacson, Miller as our partner in this search, led by managing partner Ponneh Varho, partner Natalie Leonhard, and associate Claire Hennessey. Christyn Abaray, assistant to the president and secretary to the board, will provide administrative support throughout the search process.
