Dear Wartburg Community,

I am Mark Hanawalt, chair of the Presidential Search Committee. While I am not an alumnus, I have always had a special place in my heart for Wartburg College, and I am honored to chair the committee that will identify a select group of talented and highly qualified individuals who will vie to be the college’s 18th president.

Our 14-person committee includes nine members of the Board of Regents (including the Board of Regents chair, who will serve as an ex-officio member), three members of the faculty, a staff member, and a student. Among our ranks are educators; diversity, equity, and inclusion advocates; business owners; and a reverend. You can find a full list of search committee members here. Though our backgrounds are varied, our commitment to the mission and vision of Wartburg College is a constant. We are committed to an open and inclusive search process that will allow ample opportunities for stakeholder input. We are being assisted by WittKieffer, a global executive search firm. You can submit nominations, inquiries, or applications to the WittKiefer consultants at wartburgpresident@wittkieffer.com.

Please continue to visit our presidential search website for the latest updates.

Respectfully,

Mark Hanawalt

Vice Chair, Wartburg College Board of Regents
