Eastern Kentucky officials said Monday that each finalist will visit the school for tours and a series of meetings and forums.

Benson will be on campus first from Sunday through Tuesday. Lassen’s visit will be next, followed by Shao’s visit that will end April 3.

The selection of the finalists follows a national search by a 12-member presidential search and screening committee. EKU President Doug Whitlock announced that he will retire effective this summer at the 15,300-student university.
