For over 60 years, the University Search Team has been the trusted partner of Indiana school boards, offering a valuable, cost-free service in the screening and selection of superintendents statewide.
The University Search Team, composed of faculty from Ball State University, Indiana State University, Indiana University, and Purdue University, is committed to supporting school boards across Indiana in the recruitment and selection of superintendents. Our team works closely with districts to assess local needs, build a diverse pool of candidates, and guide school boards through every stage of the hiring process, from candidate evaluation to ensuring legal and procedural compliance.
With extensive expertise in educational leadership and a strong understanding of the challenges facing Indiana's communities, our team is dedicated to helping school boards find the best fit for their district's leadership. Representing the primary training institutions for nearly 90% of Indiana's superintendent candidates, we bring valuable experience and insight to every search, ensuring that the right leader is selected for each school district.
