A search advisory committee has been formed to review candidates to succeed longtime Vice President for Human Resources Leo Sullivan, who will retire from the position and transition to a new role as senior advisor to the president beginning in June.

The search committee, chaired by Executive Vice President Patrick Keating and consisting of faculty, senior administrators and academic deans, will be assisted by the respected executive search firm Brill Neumann Associates, which has begun the process of identifying potential candidates from a variety of academic, business and non-profit institutions nationwide. Keating said the committee hopes to complete its review of candidates’ resumes in the coming months, with the goal of submitting finalists to University President William P. Leahy, SJ, by the summer.   

“I am pleased with the progress we are making to name a new vice president for human resources,” said Keating. “Brill Neumann Associates has seen significant interest in this position from prospective candidates, and I am confident that we will find an experienced professional who possesses the key qualities of strong leadership, proven human resources skills and a supportive understanding of our Jesuit, Catholic mission.”    

Keating said that additional information on the search will be posted in Chronicle and on BCInfo as it becomes available.
