UMS names three chancellor finalists

The University of Maine System has narrowed down its search for a new chancellor to three finalists, including the CEO of James W. Sewall Co.

James Page, also a principal at the Old-Town based engineering and mapping company, serves as an adjunct associate professor in UMaine's philosophy department, according to a press release from UMS. The other finalists are Rebecca Wyke, who previously served as commissioner of the Maine Department of Administrative and Financial Services and is now UMS' vice chancellor for finance and administration, and Meredith Hay, a physiology professor at the University of Arizona's College of Medicine. The candidates are scheduled to visit a handful of university campuses between Jan. 17 and 20, after which the search committee will meet again and forward a recommendation to the full Board of Trustees.

Earlier this year, Chancellor Richard Pattenaude announced his intention to step down by the end of June 2012 after five years in the job. He plans to return to teaching next December.
