After an extensive regional search that yielded nearly
90 resumes, the University's six-member search committee
whittled the field to three finalists, who interviewed
on campus within the past two weeks and conducted public
forums where they could introduce themselves and answer
questions from EMU faculty, staff and students.
The three
finalists are: Michael Wright, senior vice president,
account director, Cadillac, Leo Burnett Detroit; Ted Coutilish,
director IV, Office of Marketing and Communications,
Wayne State University; and Ruth Borger, vice president
for advancement, Lansing Community College.
"Our search committee presented three viable candidates
to the Eastern community for the executive director of
marketing and communications position," said Bernice Lindke,
interim vice president, enrollment management, who chaired
the search committee. "Each candidate hsd extensive marketing
and communications experience, and each comes from a different
arena. Michael Wright's experience was in the auto industry;
Ted Coutilish worked in four-year private and public universities;
and Ruth Borger worked in the community college setting."
