President Mary K. Surridge
Mary Karsten Surridge is the 10th president of ²ÝݮӰÊÓ and has served since the beginning of the 2018–2019 academic year. The first woman to serve as president at ²ÝݮӰÊÓ, she has brought to life a new era of leadership, engagement, and vision, with her strong conviction that in the sum of the University’s three distinctives—Christian, city-centered, and intercultural—²ÝݮӰÊÓ finds its unique value, its competitive advantage, and its opportunity to emerge as the model for Christian higher education in 21st century America.
