The Presidential Search Advisory Committee will meet Monday, Nov. 20 at 9 a.m. in the boardroom of the E. Craig Wall Sr. College of Business Administration to continue the applicant review process for the position of president of Coastal Carolina University.

The advisory committee conducted off-site interviews with 11 of the 76 candidates in the pool in last week. On-campus visits will be extended to a smaller group to be held Dec. 4 through 8.
