EMPORIA, Kan. (AP) The second of four finalists for the presidency of Emporia State University visits the eastern Kansas campus this week.
University officials say Todd Diacon and his wife were scheduled to meet with campus and community groups Monday and Tuesday.
Diacon is a native of Wellington, Kan., currently serving as deputy chancellor at the University of Massachusetts’ flagship campus. He previously spent 21 years in leadership positions at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville.
Last week, Emporia State was visited by another finalist for the presidency Michael Shonrock, a senior vice president at Texas Tech.
The university is announcing the names of the four finalists as their visits are scheduled. The new president will be chosen by the state Board of Regents to succeed Michael Lane, who resigned in June.
