DeKALB – The 28 men and women in charge of finding Northern Illinois University’s next president can agree on one thing: he or she needs to be a proverbial Super-man/woman.

Each member of the presidential search committee sounded off on what they would like to see in the 12th president of the university. They all agreed that outgoing president John Peters was fantastic in every way – they now just need someone who can take the whole school “to the next level.”

A group of 28 Northern Illinois University students, faculty, staff and officials began their search for the university’s next president Thursday.
