VALLEY CITY, N.D. (AP) -- The committee searching for a new president for Valley City State University has narrowed the pool of candidates to five.
The semifinalists will be invited to campus for interviews in mid-October. The search committee then will recommend finalists to the state Board of Higher Education, which will conduct final interviews on Oct. 30 and choose a successor to Steven Shirley.
Shirley took over as president of Minot State University in July.
