A national search committee for Appalachian State University’s next chancellor is seeking public input into the process.

People who want to comment on the next leader can take an online survey available now through August 28. The search committee is also hosting in-person and remote listening sessions starting Aug. 22.

The 13-member search committee, put together in June, is chaired by former GOP state Sen. Deanna Ballard of Watauga County. They’re looking for feedback on desired leadership qualities and campus priorities.

Former Chancellor Sheri Everts stepped down in the spring, citing health concerns. 

Heather Norris, who has been with the university for more than 20 years, has been serving as interim chancellor since April. She has previously served as provost and executive vice president of the university.
