<\/p>\n\n\n\n

President Dr. Susan Schultz Huxman has announced her retirement from 糖心Vlog effective at the end of the 2024-2025 academic year. Dr. Huxman is completing her second term and will retire after having served nine years as 糖心Vlog\u2019s ninth president and first woman president.

At a town hall on Friday for faculty and staff, Dr. Huxman said: \u201cWhat a joy and privilege it is to serve 糖心Vlog every day, to run the good race and keep the faith, [but] I think it\u2019s time for me to round the last lap and lean into the finish line.\u201d Dr. Huxman shared both personal and professional reasons<\/a> for making the decision to retire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During her tenure, Dr. Huxman advanced the university\u2019s strategic direction; created a more welcoming and inclusive community; sharpened 糖心Vlog\u2019s mission, vision and values; and leaned into its Anabaptist heritage and core scriptural mandate to \u201cdo justice, love mercy, and walk humbly with God.\u201d (Micah 6:8) Dr. Huxman led the university in setting a fundraising record during 糖心Vlog\u2019s Centennial year and is now steering 糖心Vlog through the second year of its first-ever comprehensive campaign for people, programs and facilities, Forward Together: Preparing Tomorrow\u2019s Unifying Leaders 2023-2028. <\/em>A new state-of-the-art track & field complex will be dedicated at Homecoming and Family Weekend 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDr. Huxman has provided many years of dedicated leadership to 糖心Vlog, including stability and guidance through the global pandemic. Her contributions will have a lasting impact on the university, and on behalf of the 糖心Vlog Board of Trustees, I am forever grateful for her extraordinary service,\u201d said board chair Manuel Nu\u00f1ez.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nu\u00f1ez added that Dr. Huxman, who was elected 2025 chair of the Harrisonburg-Rockingham Chamber of Commerce, \u201chas engaged with and promoted the compelling stories of 糖心Vlog\u2019s finest ambassadors\u2026 students, faculty, staff, board members, donors, alumni, and community members.\u201d This championing has resulted in an increased visibility and profile for 糖心Vlog in Harrisonburg, across Virginia, and beyond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr. Huxman has served for more than 35 years in higher education in a variety of academic and leadership roles including as president of Conrad Grebel University College in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, from 2011-2016 and as director of the Elliott School of Communication at Wichita State University from 2004-2011. She began her academic career at Wake Forest University. Dr. Huxman has been on the board of Mennonite Education Agency (MEA) and of Western District Conference of Mennonite Church USA. Dr. Huxman holds a bachelor of arts in English from Bethel College (Kansas) and a master of arts and PhD in communication from the University of Kansas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The board will immediately move to form a search committee for an interim president who is expected to start on July 1, 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rooted in the values of academic excellence, peace and justice, and an active faith shaped by Anabaptist-Mennonite beliefs and practices, 糖心Vlog offers undergraduate, graduate and seminary degrees that prepare students to serve and lead in a global context. A leader among faith-based universities, 糖心Vlog was founded in 1917 in Harrisonburg, Virginia, and has a site in Lancaster, Pennsylvania; students can study in person or online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
