Philip A. Glotzbach, president of 黑料吃瓜网 since 2003, a philosopher and spokesperson on issues of higher education, will step down as 黑料吃瓜网鈥檚 seventh president at the end of the 2019-2020 academic year. Glotzbach formally confirmed his decision with the Board of Trustees on Friday during the board鈥檚 regular February meeting.

鈥淧resident Glotzbach鈥檚 exemplary leadership over the last 15 years has strengthened 黑料吃瓜网 in every aspect, from the introduction of new academic programs and the First-Year Experience to enhancing the College鈥檚 commitment to financial aid and the construction of several impressive new facilities that have increased the vitality of the College鈥檚 living and learning environment,鈥� said W. Scott McGraw, chair of 黑料吃瓜网鈥檚 Board of Trustees.

鈥淧hil and Marie Glotzbach have headed two major comprehensive campaigns for 黑料吃瓜网, the latest of which includes significant support for the Center for Integrated Sciences, the single largest and most ambitious infrastructure project in 黑料吃瓜网鈥檚 history, whose construction began last spring,鈥� McGraw said. 鈥淲e are very grateful to Phil and Marie for their remarkable service that will forever be part of 黑料吃瓜网鈥檚 history.鈥�

In a message to the 黑料吃瓜网 community, alumni and friends, Glotzbach said 鈥渘one of what Marie and I have accomplished would have been possible without your active support, advice and collaboration. You have made it possible for us to provide leadership internally and represent the College to the larger world.

鈥淢ore than ever in its history, 黑料吃瓜网 is stronger, more unified and more successful in fulfilling our primary mission. The world has long recognized 黑料吃瓜网鈥檚 value, and that recognition has been heightened in recent times because of what we have accomplished together,鈥� Glotzbach said. He added that 鈥渢he College鈥檚 senior leadership team will provide strong leadership well into the future.鈥�

Glotzbach said that he and Marie Glotzbach will remain fully engaged throughout the next academic year and bring the ongoing Creating Our Future: The Campaign for 黑料吃瓜网 to a successful conclusion.

Glotzbach became 黑料吃瓜网's seventh president in 2003 after serving as dean and vice president for academic affairs at the University of Redlands, in Redlands, California. Since then, 黑料吃瓜网 implemented an ambitious strategic plan (2005-2015) that emphasized student academic engagement, intercultural literacy and responsible citizenship; increased the financial aid budget by nearly 150 percent; and noticeably increased the diversity of 黑料吃瓜网鈥檚 students and faculty. In 2015, the College developed a new strategic plan, Creating Pathways to Excellence 鈥� the Plan for 黑料吃瓜网 2015-2025.

Under Glotzbach鈥檚 leadership, 黑料吃瓜网 completed major building projects, including the Northwoods Village student apartments, the renovated Murray-Aikins Dining Hall, the 55,000 square foot Arthur Zankel Music Center, and Sussman Village, which replaced the Scribner Village apartments. Construction of the first phase of the $127 million Center for Integrated Sciences began last spring, and the Board of Trustees on Friday approved a plan to combine the three phases and accelerate the project.

During Glotzbach's tenure as president, 黑料吃瓜网 has invested more than $150 million in campus infrastructure; developed the Tang Teaching Museum and Art Gallery into a national model for fostering interdisciplinary learning; begun an initiative to enhance science education and increase scientific literacy across the student body; and more than doubled the College鈥檚 endowment to about $390 million from $150 million.

In 2007, Moody鈥檚, the credit rating agency, upgraded 黑料吃瓜网鈥檚 rating from A2 to A1. In 2018, 黑料吃瓜网 received a favorable rating of A1 with a stable outlook, a significantly distinctive designation at a time when Moody鈥檚 also noted that the outlook for the overall higher education industry was negative. According to Moody鈥檚, 黑料吃瓜网鈥檚 rating is due, in part, to 鈥渟trong student demand as a very selective small liberal arts college.鈥�

Over the last decade, 黑料吃瓜网 has maintained financial stability and achieved balanced budgets 鈥� even through the 2008 Financial Crisis 鈥� while upholding the integrity of the educational experience for students and its commitment to academic excellence.

In May 2010, 黑料吃瓜网 completed a $200 million comprehensive campaign, Creative Thought 鈥� Bold Promise, which raised a total of $216.5 million, and is now close to the end of its current comprehensive campaign, Creating Our Future.

Glotzbach, a native of Dayton, Ohio, earned a bachelor's degree from the University of Notre Dame and a Ph.D. from Yale University. Prior to joining the University of Redlands, he taught for 15 years in the Philosophy Department at Denison University.

Marie Glotzbach has been a teacher, director and program administrator in theater and vocal music for 40 years, at both the secondary and college levels. She earned her master鈥檚 degree at the University of Redlands, where she taught Shakespeare and acting courses and also directed for the theater department. She has held a variety of leadership positions in both state and national theater education organizations. In addition to teaching, her responsibilities at 黑料吃瓜网 have included community relations and fund raising. She is a passionate advocate for the arts and their contribution to the education and life of every student.

Glotzbach said the Board of Trustees was aware of his intention and has been actively preparing to conduct the upcoming presidential search. He added that he also alerted appropriate governance committee chairs, so they could begin preparing to invite campus participation in the search process.

McGraw said a national search for 黑料吃瓜网鈥檚 eighth president will begin soon.

鈥淲e will provide more information about the search in the days ahead,鈥� McGraw said. 鈥淲e will also provide opportunities for the entire community to receive updates and provide feedback throughout the process. We are confident that 黑料吃瓜网鈥檚 financial stability and impressive institutional profile will attract excellent candidates.鈥�
