A panel charged with finding good candidates to lead Kentucky State University is hosting a forum to get public feedback.

The university’s Presidential Search Committee will host the forum on Wednesday at 3 p.m. in the auditorium of David H. Bradford Hall, a statement from the school said. The group is seeking comments that will help it develop a leadership profile as it looks to attract candidates for president.

The session will be broadcast via Zoom and people may also submit comments by email to presidentialsearch@kysu.edu.
