Campus Visit Schedule


The Presidential Transition Committee is pleased to announce that Dr. Thomas Botzman, our University’s next president, will conduct three two-day, on-campus visits during April and May. During those visits, he will meet with leaders and representatives of every large internal constituency of the University. Dr. Botzman is receiving a variety of introductory materials to prepare for the visits. Dr. Botzman and his family will move into the president’s house in late June. He will assume his duties as president on July 1. Anyone with questions concerning the presidential transition can email the committee at transition@misericordia.edu.
