At its February meeting, the state College Board selected a search consulting firm to assist in identifying and screening applications as part of the MSU presidential search process.
Bill Funk of Los Angeles-based Korn-Ferry International will help with candidate screening. Funk also participated in the 1998 MSU presidential search.
During March, the Board of Trustees is expected to name an advisory committee made up of 30 to 40 faculty, staff, students, alumni, and community representatives to assist in screening applicants for the president's post.
Board officials have said they hope to name the university's next president by early June.
