“When we moved to New Jersey more than 10 years ago, we left behind family and friends as we immersed ourselves in a new tradition, and now, it is time in our personal lives to return to those who remained in Missouri,” Blattner said.

The Caldwell University Board of Trustees said they have launched an immediate search for a new president.
