The �¼������ϲ� Board of Regents selected SP&A Executive Search to assist with the national search for the 23rd president of the University of �¼������ϲ�. 

SP&A Executive Search is a boutique woman- and minority-owned executive search firm specializing in and exclusively dedicated to serving the higher education and non-profit sectors. 

The firm successfully helped to identify Northern �¼������ϲ� University President Dr. José Luis Cruz Rivera in 2021 when the board undertook a national search for a dynamic, accountable and innovative president.

“Hiring this firm is the next step in the search process. The firm has a long history of excellence in conducting searches for university presidents, including NAU President Cruz Rivera just three years ago,” said �¼������ϲ� Chair Cecilia Mata. “SP&A will aid our efforts in finding candidates with the leadership characteristics necessary to lead an institution as exceptional as U�¼������ϲ�.”

The board announced the formation the U�¼������ϲ� Presidential Search Advisory Committee last week, which has already begun its work in earnest. The public is invited to attend a town hall on April 24 to provide feedback about the search process as well as the leadership characteristics for the next president of the university.
