A national search is underway for Iowa State's next senior vice president for operations and finance. President Wendy Wintersteen has named a seven-member committee, assisted by the Academic Search firm, to develop a strong pool of candidates and select finalists to interview on campus.
The search timeline aims to have a new senior vice president for operations and finance in place before the start of the fall 2024 semester. Heather Paris will continue to serve as interim leader of the division until the new senior vice president is on the job. Information will be shared throughout the process on the administrative searches website.
Vice president for extension and outreach Jason Henderson is chairing the search committee. Other committee members are:
- Rachel Boenigk, senior manager, budget and finance
- Peter Dorhout, vice president for research
- Jason Follett, academic advisor, software engineering; and president-elect, Professional and Scientific Council
- Emma Mallarino Houghton, director of compensation and talent acquisition, university human resources
- Rahul Parsa, teaching professor, finance; and president-elect, Faculty Senate
- Adam Schwartz, director, Ames National Laboratory
Erica Baker, executive assistant to the vice president for extension and outreach, is providing administrative support to the search process.
