Consequently, the candidate search was renewed in the fall of last year, and the finalists were selected for interviews. The finalists for the position are: Kenneth Reeves, executive director for business development at Nola comput er services; Joseph Paul, vice president for student affairs at the University of Southern Mississippi; Dean Brescianni, interim vice chancellor at the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill; and Lt. Gen. John Van Alstyne, Coips commandant at A&M. Matt Josefy, student body presi dent and member of the search com mittee, said the vice president for stu dent affairs needs to be someone who has worked heavily with students in some capacity, knows how to run an organization and has a love for A&M. “The VP for student affairs is the most important position in terms of student advocacy and student involvement on this campus,” Josefy said. “When student leaders come and go every year, the vice president for student affairs will still be here to maintain what A&M is known for, and that’s student involvement.” The last two candidates to intro duce themselves to students, faculty and staff are Prescianni, who will be here April 5-6, and Van Alstyne, April 7-8.
