While the exact schedule of events has not been confirmed, both candidates will make a presentation
and be available for questions at an open forum. The campus will be notified of the exact location and time of the presentation by email. All updates to their agendas will be made available on this web page as they become known. Once again, it is certainly our hope that as the process evolves, the faculty, staff, and students of OCU will contribute their suggestions and feedback to this committee. All input is welcome.
