Dr. Chris Roberts

Members of the Auburn Family,

As mentioned last Friday in the Presidential Search Update from Trustee Wayne Smith, the search for Auburn University’s 21st President is nearing completion. Dean Chris Roberts of the Samuel Ginn College of Engineering at Auburn University is the single candidate under consideration at this time. Understanding the importance of transparency and shared governance, the Auburn University Board of Trustees has invited Dean Roberts to make himself available to the Auburn University and AUM campus communities this Thursday and Friday, Jan. 20 and 21, 2022. Off-campus employees and stakeholders who cannot attend on either campus in person are invited to attend an open forum via ZOOM on Friday at 3 p.m. CT.

A schedule of events detailing meetings and public forums with Dean Roberts is included below. Please note that all events with an asterisk are open to the public. We invite all interested students, faculty, employees, alumni, community members, friends, and supporters to attend these events and meet Dean Roberts as the Board considers him for this important post.
