The University of New Orleans has narrowed the field to five semifinalists in its search for a new president.
“These five candidates all have different experiences that meet different needs of UNO,” said Jim Henderson, president and CEO of the University of Louisiana System and chair of the search committee. “Now we get to really dig in and see who would be the best fit.”
Jeannine O’Rourke, Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs for the University of Louisiana System since 2016, is serving as UNO’s interim president. Following the on-campus interviews set for the week of Aug. 28, the search committee will present at least two names to the university’s Board of Supervisors for review.
