Search for Dean, Haskayne School of Business

Search Update: Feb 13, 2023

Haskayne Community,

I am pleased to provide you with an update regarding the decanal search for the Haskayne School of Business. As a result of the extensive work done by the Advisory Decanal Search Committee and the search firm, we had a strong applicant pool for the position of Dean. 

The Advisory Search Committee completed six first round interviews and three candidates are moving forward to second round interviews. After thoughtful deliberation, and given the candidates selected for the second round, the committee has determined that we need to have a closed search process for the second round of our process. This means that our second round process will be confidential and will not include a public presentation. As a reminder of our earlier discussion at the town hall, this is a direct result of the strong pool of candidates we will interview in the second round and the positions they currently hold. The decision to have a closed search was not made lightly and was done to ensure we have the best possible outcome for Haskayne. The committee is very enthusiastic about the candidates in the process and we are dedicated to finding you the best dean both for your Faculty and the University of Calgary.

Second round interviews are underway and we hope to make an announcement by late-March.

Best,

Penny Werthner, PhD
Interim Provost and Vice-President (Academic)
University of Calgary
