To the University community,
I informed the Board of Trustees today that I intend to retire as President in December. I will join the College of Education as a tenured professor after a two-semester sabbatical to retool. Meanwhile, I will continue to work every remaining day of my term to continue the progress and success of our great University.
You can read my letter to the Board of my decision here.
It has been the greatest professional honor of my career to serve as President of the remarkable institution for more than a quarter-century. I am grateful for the commitment and dedication of all of our employees, the tireless support of alumni and, especially, all the amazing students.
Sincerely,
Sidney A. McPhee
President
