Presidential Search: 2011

A search committee was immediately named and nominations and applications were invited. The search committee was asked to review and identify the candidate who, in the committee’s judgment, is most qualified to lead Milligan College as its next president. The search committee was asked to base its recommendations upon the leadership criteria and requirements already established by the Board of Trustees.

On March 18, 2011, the committee recommended, and the board unanimously approved, the appointment of Dr. Bill Greer as the college's next president. Greer will assume leadership of the college in July 2011.
