Saint Mary's University has embarked on the search for its next President and Vice-Chancellor, following Dr. Robert Summerby-Murray’s recent announcement that he will not pursue a third term. After leading the university through an exciting decade of change Dr. Summerby-Murray will conclude his term on June 30, 2025.
