Membership of the Athletic Director Search Committee

April 18, 2013

Members of the Rutgers Community:

I am pleased to announce the membership of the search committee for a Director of Intercollegiate Athletics.  As noted in my earlier communication about the search, the committee will be co-chaired by alumna Kate Sweeney, Senior Vice President of Morgan Stanley, and Dick Edwards, executive vice president for academic affairs and interim chancellor of Rutgers-New Brunswick.

The search committee, with representation from our student body, faculty, staff, governing boards, and alumni, will be assisted by Parker Executive Search, one of the most highly respected athletics search firms in the nation.  I look forward to the committee’s recommendations and to appointing a new athletic director in the coming months.

Additional information will be posted as it becomes available on the Rutgers website.

Sincerely,

Robert L. Barchi
President
