The Board of Trustees of Spartanburg Methodist College has been searching for a new president and on Tuesday we were summoned to the college to make the final decision amid discussion that it wasn’t appropriate for us to meet during Holy Week. However, it did provide an interesting time of reflection on many fronts. Wisteria, azaleas, dogwood and other signs of spring along the way offered inspiration for new possibilities not only for me, but also for SMC. In the life of the church, Holy Week can be very demanding. This day away seemed like a gift and a way to focus on the way to Easter.
The Presidential Search Committee reviewed the process and named their selection of Dr. Colleen Perry Keith. The Board of Trustees unanimously approved this choice and look forward to Dr. Keith’s leadership. Her appointment is significant as she will be the first woman president of this institution and her main charge is fundraising. It will be a new day at SMC, one for which Dr. Keith seems to be well prepared. I am excited about the possibilities that are before us.
