Director of study abroad candidate to tour Eastern

The Graduate School will host a candidate for the position of director of study abroad Tuesday and Wednesday.

The candidate, Elizabeth Dille, will start out her on-campus interview process by meeting with the search committee at 1 p.m. Monday, and will then continue her on-campus activities throughout the day, with various forums for questioning.

The session for deans and chairs is at 2 p.m. in the Edgar room of Booth Library.

The faculty session will then start at 3 p.m. in the same place, followed by the open session at 4 p.m.

The day for Dille will then conclude with interviews with Bob Augustine, the dean of the graduate school, and Marilyn Coles, the interim director of study abroad.

Dille will then end the night with dinner with the search committee charged with finding a new director of study abroad.

On Wednesday, Dille will present to the search committee at 8:30 a.m. in room 4440 of Booth Library.

Stephen Canfield, the chair of the foreign language department, is the chair of the search committee.

In an email to the faculty, Canfield said, “The person who ends up filling this position will undoubtedly have a keen influence on the future direction and growth of study abroad for EIU. Please help by attending either the faculty or the open session listed on the schedule below. Your input will play an important role in the outcome of this search.”
