Dr. John C. Baldwin, associate provost for health affairs at Dartmouth College and professor of surgery at Dartmouth Medical School, will visit The University of Texas at Dallas (UTD) on Oct. 18 and 19 to tour the campus and meet with campus groups, community leaders and members of the news media.

The University of Texas System Board of Regents this week named Baldwin one of the three finalists for the presidency of UTD. The others selected are Dr. Thomas J. Barton, professor of chemistry at Iowa State University and director of the Ames National Laboratory, and Dr. Gary B. Schuster, professor of chemistry and dean of the College of Sciences at the Georgia Institute of Technology. UTD President Dr. Franklyn Jenifer is retiring after more than 10 years as head of the university.
