I have sincerely enjoyed meeting members of the Marylhurst University community and moving this institution forward since I arrived this past summer. Marylhurst has a bright future, and I look forward to seeing what the next chapter brings. As you know, Marylhurst is currently in the process of searching for a new university president. The search has been ongoing since December. A search committee consisting of university trustees, faculty, staff and alumni has been formed, and executive search firm 180one, based in Lake Oswego, is assisting with this national process. You can get updates and learn about search criteria and process by visiting www.marylhurst.edu/presidentialsearch. Our goal is to complete the search this spring and have the new president join us this summer, ideally by early July. Inquiries and comments can be directed to Greg Togni at 503.699.0183 or greg@180one.com. Marylhurst has much to be proud of—our thriving new MBA programs in health care and real estate, our unique food systems and society master’s program, our award-winning alumni, faculty and students, and as you’ll read in this edition of Marylhurst Unlimited, much more! Even as the field of higher education faces challenges, Marylhurst is proving itself as the resilient, resourceful, successful institution we know it to be. We are continually grateful for your part in our success and hope we are helping you with yours! Blessings,
Jerry E. Hudson Interim President
