A 17-member campus/community search and screen committee, chaired by Dale Feinauer, professor of management and human resources, submitted its recommendations to President Lyall in Oshkosh on July 7.
The person chosen by the Regents will become UW-Oshkosh’s 10th chancellor, succeeding Dr. John Kerrigan. Chancellor Kerrigan announced in February that he would step down August 31 after 10 years at UW-Oshkosh.
