NEWBURGH – Mount St. Mary College President Dr. Jason Adsit announced on Friday that he will not seek a renewal of his current contract when it expires at the end of the 2023-24 academic year.
Adsit, the seventh full-time president of the Newburgh four-year college, began his tenure on June 1, 2018.
He cited his desire to be closer to his family, said College Board Chairman Michael Horodyski.
Over the next few months, the college will seek an interim president, who will overlap with Adsit for part of the academic year to support a smooth transition.
“For more than 60 years, Mount Saint Mary College has been a catalyst for change, preparing students to become skilled nurses, impactful educators, ethical business leaders, and service-minded members of their communities,” Adsit said. “It has been an incredible privilege to serve as president for the past five years, and I look forward to leading the Mount through the coming academic year.”
