- Two of our institutions will welcome a new president this summer. Rev. Tom Ries will assume the role at Concordia University, St. Paul on June 1, with the retirement of Rev. Dr. Robert Holst. Dr. William Craft will assume his duties at Concordia College, Moorhead on July 11. Craft succeeds interim president Dr. Paul Dovre and Dr. Pamela Jolicoeur, who died last June.
- The Minnesota Private College Career Consortium (a collaboration of our 17 institutions' career offices) hosts its first Virtual Career Fair, May 3-4. Our students and alumni are invited to participate, as are employers.
- Registration is now open for Minnesota Private College Week, June 20-24. It's a great chance for students — whether they're going to be sophomores, juniors or seniors — to get started with a college search. Students and parents often come together to these free introductory sessions, offered twice daily at all 17 of our campuses.
