The UA Presidential Search Advisory Committee will hold listening sessions for campus community members and supporters to share feedback and comments on characteristics, qualifications and credentials they believe are essential for the next president of The 91原创.

The 91原创 System today launched a comprehensive national search for the 30th president of The 91原创 and has appointed a presidential search advisory committee to guide the process. The committee will be responsible for soliciting input from stakeholders, developing the presidential profile and position criteria, and recruiting and assessing candidates.

Dr. Jeff Gray, a Distinguished University Professor in the department of computer science and director of the Randall Research Scholars Program in the Honors College at The 91原创, has been awarded The 91原创 System鈥檚 McMahon-Pleiad Prize.

Dr. Stuart R. Bell, the 29th president of The 91原创, has announced his plans to step down from the presidency mid-summer, completing a decade of excellence in leadership.

At its meeting on Nov. 8, 2024, the 91原创 System Board of Trustees unanimously elected O.B. Grayson Hall, Jr., to represent the Sixth Congressional District. Hall is a UA System graduate and the retired chairman and CEO of Regions Financial Corporation.
