HAMMOND, La. - Two finalists are vying to become the next president here at Southeastern Louisiana University. The Louisiana Board of Regents meets April 27 and is expected to name a successor to Dr. John Crain, who announced his retirement in January. The finalists are Dr. William Wainwright, chancellor of Northshore Technical Community College and Dr. Sebastian van Delden, dean of the School of Sciences, Mathematics and Engineering at the College of Charleston in Charleston, S.C., The Daily Star reported. Dr. Jim Henderson, president of the University of Louisiana System, said the board will decide Thursday on the candidate. Wainwright, a University of Louisiana-Lafayette graduate, earned his master’s at Northwestern State University and doctorate from the University of New Orleans. Van Delden, raised on the Dutch Island of Saba in the Caribbean, previously worked at Southeastern from 2012-15, serving as head of the Department of Computer Science and Industrial Technology. He has been at Charleston since leaving SLU. Henderson will make his recommendation to the board following interviews during Thursday's meeting. The new president is expected to be announced later that day. (The AP 04/21/23) 2 vie for top job at Southeastern Louisiana University | wwltv.com
