The University of Lethbridge is searching for its next president and is eliciting input from the University community as it advances through the process.

The search committee struck by the University wants to know what the U of L community is looking for from its next president. Two days of focus group sessions have been established to gain feedback from students, staff and faculty.

What's important to you about the U of L? What are the University's strengths and what challenges does it face? Where would you like to see the University five years from now? What needs to happen to get there? What leadership qualities will be essential in the University's next president?

Focus groups will be held on Thursday, Sept. 17 and Friday, Sept. 18. Your feedback will help the search committee develop a presidential candidate profile. Comments and suggestions will be compiled for the committee and will not be attributed to individuals.

Following are the focus group schedules:

Thursday, Sept. 17

9:30 to 10:30 a.m., C620
11 a.m. to noon, C620
1 to 2 p.m., AH100

Friday, Sept. 18
