Kathleen Getz, dean of Loyola University Maryland s Sellinger School of Business, has been named the 13th president of Mercyhurst University.
The announcement was made Tuesday by Joe NeCastro, chairman of Mercyhurst s board of trustees and interim president of the university.
The news comes just over three months after Michael T. Victor left the school. Victor, who served as president for a little more than five years, had announced in October that he intended to retire in June of this year.
Ultimately, Victor left in February. After a robust national search that yielded a diverse and talented pool of candidates, Dr. Getz emerged as a passionate and accessible leader who we believe is ideally suited to lead Mercyhurst into the future,” NeCastro said in a statement.
