College of Notre Dame's President to Retire

Mary Pat Seurkamp will step down after next school year.

College of Notre Dame of Maryland President Mary Pat Seurkamp will retire at the end of the 2011-2012 school year.

The college announced the retirement in a press release on Tuesday afternoon.

“Leadership requires us to build a strong foundation for the next generation of leaders,” Seurkamp wrote in her letter to the Board of Trustees. “I certainly inherited an institution with a rich history, fine academic programs and a stellar reputation upon which we were able to lead Notre Dame to the next level of distinction. I trust I leave to the next president core strengths from which new transformational steps will be taken.”
