President Morton Schapiro, who has led Northwestern University through one of its most transformative and sustained periods of academic growth, announced today (March 4) that he will conclude his tenure on Aug. 31, 2022.
Since Schapiro took office in September 2009 as the 16th president in Northwestern’s 170-year history, the University has elevated its status as a premier university for research and teaching.
“During President Schapiro’s tenure, Northwestern has further established itself as one of the world’s very finest academic institutions,” said J. Landis Martin, chairman of the Northwestern Board of Trustees. “Since he took office, the University has improved by every relevant measure. We will celebrate what we have achieved and continue to achieve under President Schapiro’
Schapiro became NU s president in 2009 after serving in the same role at Williams College in Williamstown, Mass., from 2000 to 2009.
Schapiro, 67, said in the statement, “While I’m incredibly proud of what we’ve achieved together to increase Northwestern’s national and international standing, I’d have to say teaching and learning from our students as well as our faculty and alumni, may be the highlight of my time here. After all, that’s what a university is at its core, and a president should never lose sight of that while making decisions and gathering and allocating resources.”
In a letter to the NU community, Schapiro, Northwestern s 16th president, says the date of his term ending was scheduled long ago, providing ample time to plan a smooth transition to my successor.
