Dear John Jay Community- 

After an extensive and rigorous search for a candidate for the position of Vice President of Enrollment Management and Student Affairs, the search committee has selected one candidate to move forward in the search process. The name of the candidate is Brad Kovaleski, and his resume and cover letter are attached for your reference.

On Thursday, December 11, Brad will be on campus to meet with the John Jay community - faculty staff, students, and various leadership groups.

The search committee encourages faculty, staff, and students to attend the open forum with the candidate on that day in L.63 during community hour (1:45-2:55 PM). Following a brief presentation, he will be available to answer questions. You can attend either in person or by Zoom.  Zoom information will be shared via Important Announcement in the coming days, along with a link to provide your feedback after his visit. You will also be able to provide your feedback via a QR code posted in L.63 on the day of the open forum.

The VP of Enrollment Management and Student Affairs (EMSA) serves as the college’s chief enrollment management and student affairs officer and is a member of the president’s senior leadership team.
