Presidential Search: Pre-Board Meeting Update

Dear Andrews University community,

I wish to thank you again for your ongoing interest, nominations, suggestions and prayers for our Andrews University Presidential Search Committee as we have worked together to thoughtfully and carefully help identify the next president of Andrews University.

Yesterday afternoon, our Search Committee met together and reviewed the information gathered throughout the nomination and interview processes, which included vision statements from the finalists.

Following that review yesterday, we now have two names that we will formally present to the University Board of Trustees for consideration at its upcoming March 7, 2023, meeting.

At that upcoming Board meeting, the seventh president of Andrews University will be voted on and selected by the Board. The decision early next month will offer some overlap and transitional time before President Luxton’s retirement at the end of June.

That same day, the Andrews University Quinquennial Membership Meeting will also take place. The Membership meeting on March 7 will work to select and confirm members of the new Andrews University Board of Trustees.

That newly constituted Board will meet for the first time on June 1. At that time, it will also vote on and formally confirm the next University president.

Over these next two weeks, I want to especially thank our Andrews University family, both on and off campus, for your ongoing interest. I invite your continued and earnest prayers for the final steps in the presidential selection process, including prayers that God will fully inform and guide the Board’s selection of, and vote for, our University’s next president.

Artur A. Stele, chair
