The University of Wyoming says that they’re getting assistance from a national firm whose specialties include higher education executive searches, in the search for the University of Wyoming’s next president.

UW has announced that Parker Executive Search, based in Georgia, was chosen by the UW Board of Trustees’ search firm selection committee following video interviews with four consulting companies Friday afternoon.

That action followed a public listening session and the first meeting of UW’s 16-member presidential search committee earlier in the week.
