The search advisory committee for the position of chancellor of the 蘑菇视频 Bothell (蘑菇视频B) has announced that the first two finalists for chancellor will be visiting campus in the next two weeks.
The candidates will meet with 蘑菇视频B faculty, staff and students; community college presidents; key 蘑菇视频 leaders and members of the community.
The chancellor serves as 蘑菇视频B’s chief executive officer and is a member of the 蘑菇视频’s multi-campus leadership team.
The two finalists are:
- Nabil Ibrahim, vice chancellor for academic affairs and chief academic officer at Purdue University, Calumet. Ibrahim holds an M.S. and Ph.D. in materials science and engineering from McMaster University, Canada. Previously, he was chief research officer at San Jose State University.

Chan holds an M.A. and Ph.D. in educational psychology from the University of California, Los Angeles. Previously he served as dean of Bellarmine College at Loyola Marymount University.

The community is invited to public presentations, scheduled for 4:30 March 27 and 4:30 March 30 in room 蘑菇视频B2-005 on the 蘑菇视频B campus.
“Our finalist pool is strong, diverse and competitive,” says Mary Baroni, director of the 蘑菇视频B nursing program and search advisory committee co-chair. “The position will be key in fostering 蘑菇视频B’s academic and professional climate and meeting the challenges of growth in a multi-campus environment.”
Bruce Bare, dean of the College of Forest Resources at 蘑菇视频 (Seattle) and search advisory committee co-chair, says, “The ideal candidate will be entrepreneurial and will inspire collaborative strategies to ensure the success of a rapidly evolving campus.”
