Howard noted that dining services has no issues with food safety or quality and that the change is proactive.
"We want to be sure we're very well qualified," she said.
While serving in the interim, Howard is leading the search for the permanent director.
The search began within the past two weeks, Howard said, with a job posting online.
"The university seeks a dynamic, experienced and engaging individual to lead a dining services program which is in a transitional phase," the posting states. "This is an opportunity for a motivated leader to significantly shape the direction and success of Dining Services at TAMU over the next decade."
The post goes on to state changes in place for the University.
"TAMU is in the midst of a significant capital improvement program in which Dining Services is an important participant."
Howard said she will narrow the executive director applicants to approximately five then create a committee, which will in turn, narrow the applicants to two. The final two will visit A&M before the selection.
"I have talked to members of student government to be on my committee," Howard said.
The selection, Howard said, will most likely occur in the fall in order to receive student input.
"I don't want to rush the process, since it's very important," she said.
