Both committees play an important role in this process and will have the help of UC San Diego Executive Recruitment Services. The search firm does significant work in helping identify and encourage outstanding candidates to apply. I ask that you also think deeply about internal and external colleagues who may be outstanding candidates for these positions and share your nominations directly with Janna Gilkison, jgilkison@ucsd.edu , Senior Executive Recruiter with UCSD Executive Recruitment Services. Please note that while the searches are ongoing, the respective committees will begin reviewing candidates shortly.
Thank you very much for your willingness to help identify excellent candidates.
Sincerely,
