To: The Trinity University community

In an effort to keep you informed of the presidential search process, I want to acknowledge receipt of the many letters submitted to date. Please be assured that all members of the committee are reading each and every one, and we are finding them extremely helpful as we begin developing the combination of qualities to be sought in Trinity’s next president.

On behalf of the committee, I want to thank you for your sincere and thoughtful letters and encourage anyone who would like to contribute additional thoughts to do so as soon as possible during this formative stage of the process. Comments may be sent electronically to presidentialsearch@trinity.edu. Alternatively, you may send a letter to either me or Board Chairman Tim Hixon at the addresses listed at the end of this letter.

Updates and other pertinent information will be shared via periodic memos as well as posts to the presidential search Web site at www.trinity.edu/presidentialsearch.

We appreciate and value all input from the Trinity community.

Sincerely,

J.R. Hurd, Chair
Presidential Search Committee

Mr. John R. (J.R.) Hurd, Hurd Enterprises, LTD, 7373 Broadway, Suite 200, San Antonio, TX 78209
