The next president of the University of Illinois will be announced Wednesday. The announcement will be made on all three campuses.
Board chair Christopher Kennedy and other university officials will introduce the schools' choice to head the U of I. A news release did not mention the choice.
President Robert Easter will retire next summer. He has served in that role for 3 years after being on the faculty and serving as an administrator at the Urbana Champaign campus.
The next president was chosen after an 8 month search. Board approval of the new hire is still needed.
All three events will be webcast live at http://www.uis.edu/technology/wp-content/uploads/sites/123/misc/live/
