THE OPPORTUNITY FOR EXCEPTIONAL LEADERSHIP

Dr. Bettye Rogers Coward will retire from Blue Mountain College on June 30, 2012, when she will have completed 11 years as president. She has served as the seventh (and first female) president. Dr. Coward led the College in a functioning planning process, extensive refurbishing of campus facilities, increasing enrollment, growing the endowment significantly, establishing the college’s first graduate program, developing a campus wide wireless internet and course management system and all of this while placing the college in a debt free situation. All of this positions Blue Mountain College to move into and thrive in the future.

The trustees of Blue Mountain College seek a president who is committed to take this Christian institution of higher education to new heights of excellence. The next President will build upon the foundation developed by the current administration, faculty and staff. The new president, through his or her leadership and vision, will work with all the college’s constituent groups to expand the influence and educational opportunities of the college in the region and beyond.
