ULM interim president Stephen Richters has applied for the permanent position of presidency.
Richeters said he wants to help lead ULM through this hard economic time and to continue building a relationship with the community.
“I’ve got a real passion for the university and this community,” said Richters.
Richters was on the team that led ULM through its changing times while James Cofer was president. Six other applicants have applied with the University of Louisiana System.
The search committee, R.H. Perry and Associates of Washington, is scheduled to interview semifinalists for the ULM presidency in mid-October and is aiming to have a new president by December.
