University of Montana Close to Naming 'Finalist Candidate' for President to Replace Bodnar
The expedited search follows 60 initial candidates, aiming to sustain UM’s momentum with a new president appointment expected by late April, officials said.
- On Monday, Montana Commissioner of Higher Education Clayton Christian announced that a "finalist candidate" for the University of Montana president position will visit the Missoula campus on April 6 and 7.
- Christian described the search as "highly productive," with more than 60 candidates applying and 10 advancing to further consideration for the leadership vacancy.
- Leanne Kurtz, communications director for the Commissioner's Office, said biographical information and visit details will be released later this week.
- Former President Seth Bodnar stepped down in January to pursue a U.S. Senate run, prompting the expedited search to maintain institutional momentum.
- The university has achieved its highest retention rate since 2015 and a more than 40% increase in Native American enrollment since 2018, gains officials seek to protect.
