NEWBURGH – The Mount Saint Mary College Board of Trustees has named Fr. Gregoire Fluet as interim president of the Newburgh college effective immediately.
He has been serving as acting president since former president Jason Adsit resigned in August.
“It was clear to the Board of Trustees that (Fr. Greg) is the ideal candidate to serve as interim president while we embark on a national search for Mount Saint Mary College’s eighth president,” said Board Chairman Michael Horodyski. “His deep passion for the Mount, genuine devotion to serving students, and utmost respect for the college’s Dominican traditions and values make him uniquely qualified to guide us through the challenges and opportunities that exist in this period of transition.”
The board will soon launch a national search campaign to find a highly qualified president for the college.
Horodyski said Fr. Greg’s work as campus chaplain, director of Campus Ministry, and most recently acting president “embodies the pillars of Dominican life that are so integral to Mount Sain Mary College: Community, Study, Service, and Spirituality.”
