Seton Hill installs JoAnne Woodyard Boyle as the College’s ninth president. A 1957 graduate of Seton Hill, member of the English faculty, and English department chair, JoAnne’s presidency would be marked by unprecedented growth and transformation. The longest serving president in Seton Hill history, the college achieved university status, became coeducational and developed partnerships with the City of Greensburg and LECOM during her tenure.
