A search for the new president of Winona State University has been narrowed to three semifinalists. They are:

  • Anne Huot, provost and VP for academic affairs at the College at Brockport, part of the SUNY system
    • Scott Olson, provost and VP for academic and student affairs at Minnesota State University, Mankato
      • Jem Spectar, president of the University of Pittsburgh, Johnstown

        The three candidates will visit campus this week and next. See schedules and read the candidates' biographies here.

        Steven Rosenstone, chancellor of the Minnesota State Colleges and Universities, will recommend a finalist to the public system's Board of Trustees, which will vote on the pick at a meeting May 16.

        Judith Ramaley, who began as president of Winona State in 2005, announced in August that she would step down at the end of this academic year.
