College presidential search to begin by Rita Cellucci

News Editor

Cabrini College is undertaking a search for a new president to follow President Sister Eileen Currie, MSC, who resigns in May, 1992. There is a new presidential search committee that is already starting the process of searching for a successor. "The Missionary Sisters of the Sacred Heart have decided for themselves that their best work is done not in positions of corporate leadership, but in other areas," Dr. Robert Bonfiglio, dean of students and member of the committee, said. According to Dr. Margaret Reher, chair of the religion department and faculty member of the committee, it was the decision of the religious chapter not to continue in their position. However, they will still continue to sponsor the institution. The search committee consists of the board of trustees, administrators, faculty, alumni and current students. Sister Mary of Lourdes has been appointed chair of this committee. Edith R. Dixon, chairperson of the board.Charles Roach.Joanne Balshi and Sister Roselle Santivasi, MSC, are the members of the board participating in the search. The administrators include Dr. Mary Ann Biller, vice president of academic affairs, and Bonfiglio. Dr. Anthony Tomasco, chairperson of

Sister Eileen Currie, MSC, president, will resign May 1992 the psychology department, and Reher were the two faculty members chosen. Alumna Angela Zager, from the class of '64, will serve on the committee. The two current students chosen are Dawn Timbario and Eric Klansek, both sophomores. "The committee recognizes the importance of having representation from all the constituencies of the college," Bonfiglio said. "I welcome students as part of the search," Reher said, "they are a natural part of the process." The college has contacted the Presidential Search Consultant Service of the Association of Governing Boards to aid in the search. Reher thinks that choosing a professional group will provide objectivity and neutrality in the search. The consultant service will visit die campus on May 6 and 7 to evaluate and determine what characteristics should be sought for the college and its new president. Two consultants want to see and get to know the campus "to meet students, faculty and staff and get a sense of the institution and our needs," ac-

cording to Reher. From these two days, the consultants should be able to develop a job description. In Septembe, the process of the search will start with advertisements in the Chronicle of Higher Education. Also, contacts the consultants know will be considered. The college is expecting 100 resumes and by late October those resumes will be read and semi-finalists chosen. Interviewing will start in the latter part of the fall semester. In January and February, the search will narrow to finalists and continue with second-round interviews. "Hopefully, by March or April, the Board of Trustees will be able to announce the new president," Bonfiglio said. "I trust and respect the decision of the Missionary Sisters and respect them for giving it a lot of thought," Zager said. She does not feel it will hurt the mission of the college if the president is not from a religious order. "In fact, that will be a primary concern when choosing the candidate," Zager said, "That person can carry the mission statement farther and broaden it into other areas." "My general impression is that higher education is facing a lot of tough questions and we need a president who will be able to gather the resources of the college and around the area," Bonfiglio said. "I need to formulate my thoughts on thequalities of a president," Zager said. see SEARCH, pg.8

"They really take pride in their employees and they arealwa} s there to know what is wrong," Humay said. Geraci spoke about important current business trends. "Figure out what you like to do," Geraci said. Geraci also spoke about the changing role of education within the next 15 years. He feels that the students and parents, will begin questioning what they are really getting for their money. "The para-

digms of tenure will be broken," Geraci said. "Mr. Combs indirectly helped get the business program started," Heiberger said. Heiberger and Dr. Joseph Romano, philosophy department chair. asked Combs to help out with finances and counselors in setting the department up when Heiberger was head of in~titutional advancement and Romano wa\ the vice president of academic affairs. According to Romano, the department got staned because of good will and an interest in people. "As administrator in the 1979-'80 time period, we had a lot of priorities. One of them was to build the business department," Romano see SPEAKER, pg.8
