Chancellor Mark Mone shared this message with the 51ÁÔÆæ community today. <\/em><\/p>\n

Dear 51ÁÔÆæ Community,<\/p>\n

I write to share that, after careful thought and discussion with my family and close colleagues, I have decided to step down from my role as chancellor and return to my professorship with the Lubar College of Business effective July 1, 2025. This timing allows for a smooth transition to a new leader.<\/p>\n

Being your chancellor is as rewarding as it is challenging, and it\u2019s a role that requires round-the-clock attention. At the end of our next academic year, I will have been chancellor for 11 years \u2013 twice the average tenure of college presidents today and longer than any of 51ÁÔÆæ\u2019s chancellors, with the exception of our founding chancellor, J. Martin Klotsche. With our momentum on many fronts, now is the right time.<\/p>\n

We have accomplished so many remarkable things together while weathering the strongest of headwinds. Just some of our recognitions include our Carnegie R1 status in 2016, the Carnegie Community Engaged University designation in 2015, APLU\u2019s Innovation and Economic Prosperity designation in 2019, and the U.S. Department of Education Green Ribbon Award in 2016.<\/p>\n
