The Evergreen State College in Olympia has announced that its Board of Trustees and Presidential Search Committee have begun actively recruiting candidates to replace Thomas L. “Les” Purce, who will retire next summer after 15 years of service as the college’s president.

Evergreen is a nationally recognized public college of liberal arts and sciences known for its distinctive interdisciplinary approach to teaching and learning.

The college has engaged Academic Search, a Washington, DC, recruitment firm that has helped place hundreds of leaders at colleges and universities across the country, to aid in the search.

The search timeline calls for review of applications starting December 1, campus visits and interviews for top candidates in January and February of 2015, a hiring decision by March, and having the new president in place by July.
