Vice President for Diversity and Inclusion Gigi Secuban is pleased to announce that four finalists have been invited to interview on campus as candidates for Ohio University’s next director of the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender Center.

*Please note that the fourth candidate, Cory Frederick, has withdrawn candidacy as he has accepted a position with a different institution. The April 3 forum will be the third and final open forum for this search. This article has been edited to reflect these changes.

The national search for the Center director began in January 2019.

As part of the interview process, the University community will have an opportunity to interact with the candidates during open forums where they will deliver a brief presentation and answer questions from students, faculty and staff.

Open forums for all students, faculty and staff will take place on the following dates and times. Please note that the public is invited to attend these open forum sessions.

• Roxie Patton – Wednesday, March 27 from 1 p.m. – 2 p.m., Baker University Center, room 219.
• Elliot Director – Friday, March 29 from 2:30 p.m. – 3:30 p.m., Baker University Center, room 219.
• Mathew Hall – Wednesday, April 3 from 10 a.m. – 11 a.m., Baker University Center, room 231.
