University president Rev. E. William Beauchamp, C.S.C., has informed the University’s board of regents that he has decided that this will be his last year as president of the University.
“I have had the great fortune to serve this fine institution for the past eleven years, ten as your president,” he wrote to the campus community on Friday, September 27. “I look forward to working with you throughout this academic year and meeting our goals for the Rise Campaign which will conclude at the end of this fiscal year. My experience here at UP has been nothing short of extraordinary and I will always cherish my time here on the Bluff. It has been my good fortune and blessing to work with an incredible group of faculty and staff, and to share my time here with wonderfully gifted and talented students. Thank you for all you do for this wonderful place. I appreciate the gifts that each of you bring. Know that you continue to be in my prayers daily.”
