Presidential Search: Committee Members

The Clarkson Board of Trustees established a Presidential Search Process in Summer 2020 and as part of that process appointed a Presidential Search Committee co-chaired by Trustees Georgia Keresty ‘83 and Sanjeev Kulkarni ’84. The following members of the University community were nominated and selected from a diverse pool of candidates to also be members of the Presidential Search Committee. While the members represent a range of constituent groups, they were all tasked with bringing a “university mindset” in their service on the Committee. 

The primary responsibility of the Presidential Search Committee was to work with the external search firm to identify candidates to recommend to the Board of Trustees. The Clarkson Board of Trustees carried the ultimate responsibility to select and appoint the University’s 17th president. The members of the Presidential Search Committee were:

  • Georgia Keresty '83 (Co-Chair) – Trustee
  • Sanjeev Kulkarni '84 (Co-Chair) – Trustee
  • Bebonchu Atems – Professor, Economics & Financial Studies
  • Katie Campbell '03 – Trustee
  • Simoon Cannon '97 – Trustee
  • Lauretta Chrys '98 – Trustee
  • Bayard Clarkson, Jr. – Trustee
  • Nicole Ellegate – Undergraduate Student
