The candidates and the dates of their campus visits are:
• Timothy Cornelius -- vice president for learning: global business, health professions, external programs and adult basic education at Northwest Arkansas Community College in Bentonville -- on March 30 and 31.
• Richard Dawe -- president of Ozarka College in Melbourne -- on April 2 and 3.

Each candidate will have a public reception on the first day of the interviews from 2 to 3:15 p.m. in the Green Room of the John F. Gibson University Center.
