Presidential Search 2023

Presidential Search

Manhattanville College seeks a dynamic, inclusive, and visionary leader to serve as its 14th President and invites nominations for, and expressions of interest in, the position. The next President will build upon a record of success at Manhattanville, promote the distinctive quality of the institution in a competitive landscape, and develop a vision of growth and sustainability. Manhattanville has a long history of providing transformative educational opportunities and access to social mobility for its students. The next President will have the opportunity to expand Manhattanville’s brand and visibility, while leading the College’s continued success in today’s competitive higher education marketplace. This new leader must have a deep commitment to the students, the institution’s dedication to academic excellence and social mobility, and the community‘s distinctive culture.

Please see the full position profile here.

The Presidential Search launched at the February 2023 meeting of the Board of Trustees. 
The Board hired Louise Feroe, PhD, to serve as Interim President during the leadership transition that began when former President Michael E. Geisler retired last summer.

To assist with the Presidential Search Committee with the search for the best candidates, the Board has retained the services of Storbeck Search. If you are interested in exploring this opportunity or have someone to nominate, please contact Steve Leo, Managing Director and Brian Bustin, Senior Associate at Storbeck Search at: MvillePresident@storbecksearch.com. (https://diversifiedsearchgroup.com/storbeck-search/) 

At the conclusion of the search process, the Committee will make a recommendation to the Board of Trustees who will hire our next President.

The Committee invites input from the College’s constituencies. See the list of Committee members below.
