The Board of Trustees has begun a search for the 25th president of LaGrange College and encourages expressions of interest in this unusual opportunity for leadership. The search begins following 12 years of outstanding leadership by F. Stuart Gulley who has announced his resignation to accept the presidency of Woodward Academy in Atlanta. In succeeding Dr. Gulley, the next president has an opportunity to lead LaGrange to new levels of institutional achievement and distinction, in part by building on existing strengths and accomplishments. LaGrange has recently been named by U.S. News & World Report as a top ten “Southern Baccalaureate College” for the fifth consecutive year, as a “Best Value” college, and as an “Up and Coming school (that) ... everyone is watching.” A new president will be expected to accept this assignment on or about July 1, 2009 – an uncommonly opportune moment in the life of this fine United Methodist college.
