ST. PETERSBURG -- The University of South Florida St. Petersburg has narrowed to seven the list of candidates for campus leader.

The committee searching for a new vice president and campus executive officer interviewed candidates this week and will ask finalists to return for on-campus visits set to begin March 24.

The committee narrowed the list to the following:

Terry L. Hickey, senior vice president and provost at the University of Akron.

Diane Vines, vice chancellor for corporate and public affairs of the Oregon University System.

Gary Krahenbuhl, senior vice president at Arizona State University.
