Ottawa University is beginning a search for a new university president and CEO.
Lucky DeFries, Ottawa University Board of Trustees chairman, announced the school is searching for someone to succeed Kevin Eichner, the school s current chancellor, effective this summer.
“We have been most fortunate to benefit from Kevin’s leadership over these past 12 years,” DeFries said. “This has been a period of unprecedented growth and progress at OU. While Kevin’s contract runs through July 1 of 2022, the board is beginning the search and succession process a year earlier to ensure that the new president will benefit from Kevin’s years of experience, contacts, and continued engagement in strategic initiatives prior to his full retirement in 2022.”
