• Linn, 3:30 to 4:15 p.m. in the Memorial Union’s Black and Gold Room.
• Robinson, 3:30 to 4:15 p.m. in the Black and Gold Room.
• Grospitch, 3:30 to 4:15 p.m. in the Robbins Center’s Eagle Communications Hall.
For the public forums, each candidate has been asked to address the question, “What role does Student Affairs have in helping students choose FHSU as their destination of choice, as well as guiding and supporting forward-thinking, world-ready students?” After the candidate presentation, the floor will be opened to questions from the audience.
