• Kelly Miller, associate dean for learning and research services, Libraries, University of Miami
• Leslie Reynolds, senior associate dean of libraries, University of Colorado Boulder

“I am pleased with the strong progress of this search and excited to introduce four outstanding finalists to our libraries community,” Rosario‑Ortiz said. “I’m also deeply grateful to the search advisory committee members for their dedication and thoughtful work in identifying such an impressive group of finalists, and to Sarah Jackson, for her leadership as chair of the committee.”

The finalists are scheduled to visit campus in late February and early March. During their visits, finalists will meet with units across University Libraries to share their leadership perspectives and engage with faculty and staff. Feedback from these sessions will help inform the final selection.

Following the campus visits, the search will move toward final deliberations. Rosario-Ortiz expects to make an appointment for the next dean of University Libraries later in the spring semester.
