Steve Briganti Dear Sir : I was intrigued by an article in a recent Butler
Collegian about your difficulties in finding a replacement for President
Geoffrey Bannister. I have been seeking just such an opportunity as this,
and I think my background and your requirements may be a good match. My resume
is enclosed for your review. Of particular note for you and the members of your
team as you consider this very important placement are my strong accomplishments
and a commitment to providing Indianapolis and the world with a quality
education in a diverse environment, achieving improved operating efficiency
internally and improved cashflow for the institution as a whole. Consider the following:
Even though America’s youth are among those
leading the Silicon Valley revolution, my status as a student and president of
Butler University would bring untold amounts of positive publicity to our
school. Administrators around the world would admire the choice of a
candidate that most accurately reflects the kind of student the university is
trying to serve. If you are seeking a president who is in touch with
today’s student-consumer, who understands technology, who can raise the funds
essential to today’s university, who can earn 100% staff support, who knows
that quality and diversity in higher education are not mutually exclusive, and
who is as career-committed as it takes to achieve total success, then please
consider what I have to offer. I strongly urge you to take this matter
seriously and I would be more than happy to have a preliminary discussion with
you or members of the board and the search committee to see if we can establish
a mutual interest. I look forward to answer any questions you may have, and to
hear about your hiring process. Thank you for your attention to these materials. I
certainly look forward to exploring this further. Yours truly, Kenneth J. DeGraff |
