What if a university desires to be considered for an Alfred E. Mann Institute on their campus?
Mr. Mann, along with the Site Selection Committee, have established an ongoing list of institutions that meet the majority of the criteria necessary for the potential success of an Institute. The academic institutions on this unpublished list are at any time under various stages of evaluation, having been visited or being scheduled for site visits. Ultimately up to 50 universities will be visited through 2012. The Site Selection Committee recognizes that a number of other universities may share many of the same characteristics for potential success, and thus it is continually reviewing the pool of select universities. The selection process is confidential and Committee-initiated, which does not include a formal application process.
