Search Process and Timelines

The search committee charged with identifying Syracuse University’s next chancellor will begin its work immediately, with support from the executive search and leadership advisory firm Spencer Stuart. Following an extensive community engagement process, a position specification for the chancellor role will be finalized and shared in October.

In the months ahead, the search committee will work to develop a compelling and comprehensive candidate pool, interview a broad range of interested candidates and ultimately make a recommendation to the Syracuse University Board of Trustees, with the expectation of seating the next chancellor in July 2026.
