President Search
In August 2020, De Smet Jesuit's Board of Trustees announced the launch of its national search for the school's next President, to be led by a President Search Committee representing trustees, alumni, parents, faculty, and staff.
The search process, undertaken in partnership with Carney Sandoe & Associates, is protocol-driven and includes extensive constituent engagement via Zoom discussions and a confidential online survey. All members of the De Smet Jesuit community have been invited to share their thoughts regarding the school's challenges going forward, and the qualities, skills, and experiences they would most want to see in De Smet Jesuit's next President.
Should you have any questions or input, please send an email to DSJPresSearch@desmet.org. Your comments will remain confidential, and this email address will remain open throughout the search.
