Saint Michael's College
President
The Board of Trustees at Saint Michael's College, a residential, coeducational, Catholic, liberal arts college in Colchester, Vermont, announces a search for the 18th president of the College. Saint Michael's was founded in the Catholic intellectual tradition in 1904 by members of the Society of Saint Edmund, and it remains the only Edmundite college in the world.

Saint Michael's is located adjacent to Burlington, Vermont, and situated between Lake Champlain and the Green Mountains. The College enrolls approximately 1,200 undergraduates, 190 graduate students, and more than 50 international students, and it boasts 21 NCAA Division II varsity teams. Majors and minors are available in more than 40 fields of study across a broad spectrum of subjects, and the faculty are teacher-scholars.

Saint Michael's has long focused on how students, faculty, and staff can make an impact on the larger community – a direct connection to the College's foundational ethos of social justice and service. In 2022, Saint Michael's was named by the Princeton Review as one of the top 25 colleges engaged in community service. Saint Michael's has also been featured in the Princeton Review's Best 387 Colleges recognized as a Green College.

The College community is eager to embrace a president who values what is unique about Saint Michael's, who understands the rapidly changing dynamic of higher education today, and who is willing and capable of galvanizing a campus community quickly around a compelling vision for the future and moving with urgency to bring that vision to life.
