As you know, our Provost Mayo Moran is stepping down in June 2024 after ten years of outstanding service to Trinity College. As we get the search underway for her successor, it is very important to the Search Committee that we hear the voices and views of our community members. The advice, perspective, and wisdom you provide will be enormously helpful in informing the direction of the search, and we thank you in advance for your participation. There will be some opportunities to meet with our consultants by zoom or by phone, but we also wanted to send this survey to ensure that we are reaching all members of our community. Please check your email for the survey link and how to reach the external search consultant.

We will very much welcome your comments by November 24, 2023. Thank you again for your commitment to Trinity College.

Yours,

Sharon Geraghty
Chair, Trinity College Board of Trustees
