2024-25 Presidential Search
Since 1823, Trinity College has prepared students to be bold, independent thinkers who lead transformative lives. With the message from President Joanne Berger-Sweeney who announced on April 15 that she will retire from Trinity College at the end of the 2024–25 academic year—after a remarkable 11-year presidency—we turn our focus to ensuring that the College continues to thrive during its third century.
The Board of Trustees now embarks on its most important responsibility: finding the 23rd president of Trinity College. The board has tasked a search committee to work in partnership with the executive search firm Spencer Stuart and to manage a thoughtful process of listening to our community to discern the characteristics and desired qualities of the next president.
Overview of What to Expect
- Phase One: Gather community input to create and refine the leadership profile.
- Phase Two: Recruit and interview the best qualified candidates. Celebrate the legacy of President Joanne Berger-Sweeney in the fall.
- Phase Three: Select, announce, and introduce a new president to the community in early 2025.
Community members may ask questions or nominate qualified candidates by emailing the search firm at [email protected].
The search committee has scheduled a number of opportunities throughout April and May to collect feedback from across constituencies.
