FAIRMONT, W.Va. — Fairmont State University plans to welcome four presential finalists to campus next week.

“Each of these candidates brings a unique set of skills and experiences that we believe pair well with the traits we have identified in our next president,” said Fairmont State Board of Governors Chairman Rusty Hutson. “Fairmont State is a special place filled with special people. We serve a vital role in this region, and our next president’s vision and leadership will help ensure that we continue to provide an unrivaled student experience, build upon our robust academic programming, and strengthen the university for years to come.”

A public forum open to all students, faculty, staff, alumni, donors, and community members is the next step in the search process. Each open forum will be available online, and feedback forms will go live on each candidate’s information page after the completion of their interview.
