URBANDALE, Iowa (AP) — The Iowa Board of Regents has identified 21 members who will serve on the committee tasked with finding the next University of Iowa president.

The regents on Wednesday said those selected for the University of Iowa Presidential Search and Screen Committee have been charged with seeking out candidates to serve as UI's next president for consideration by the board. Current UI President Sally Mason in January announced her plans to retire July 31.

UI Vice President for Medical Affairs Jean Robillard has been named committee chair. Eight additional UI faculty members were chosen, along with representatives from the regents, the UI Alumni Association, UI Student Government and other organizations.

Robillard says he's looking forward to working with all members as they conduct the search.
