Dear Bryn Mawr community members,
We write today with an update on the search for the 10th President of Bryn Mawr College. As you know, President Kimberly Cassidy will conclude her 11-year tenure as of June 2024. Cynthia Archer, Chair of the Board of Trustees, shared in May, that “Kim has led Bryn Mawr forward in enduring ways, preparing an incomparable opportunity for her successor to lead Bryn Mawr forward.” Our work to find Kim’s successor has begun. Since May, we have initiated the processes outlined in our shared governance model to form our search committee, we have selected Spencer Stuart as our search firm, and we have begun planning for inclusive engagement of this community in our search.
Our Presidential Search Committee will consist of 17 members of the Bryn Mawr community. The committee will include four faculty members, three of whom will be elected early in the academic year, one staff member, one undergraduate student, one graduate student, nine trustees and a member of the Haverford Board of Managers. We are pleased to share those individuals that have been named to the committee thus far.

As the academic year begins, the Presidential Search Committee will schedule virtual and on-campus listening sessions to allow our community the opportunity to share perspectives on the important attributes of our next president. We encourage you to join these sessions as they are announced. We also invite your early feedback and nominations via this anonymous survey Presidential Survey.
Your suggestions and comments on the search process are also welcomed and can be sent to Email Presidential Search
We look forward to the exciting work ahead to find our next President and will update you further as our search progresses. Thank you for all you do for Bryn Mawr.
