From the President’s OfficeInformation for friends of Rockhurst University by the Rev. Edward Kinerk, S.J.Dear Rockhurst Friends,I want to let you know that this academic year will be my final one as president ofRockhurst. It has been an extraordinary privilege to work with you and I cannotimagine a greater joy than to serve as the president of the university from whichI graduated. I cherish the relationships I have made both on campus and in thecommunity.Together we have made significant improvements in our facilities, strengthened ourmission and identity, and attracted increasingly large numbers of students. Rockhurstis positioned for a very positive future and a new president will bring talents andinsight to guide our growth.I have been at Rockhurst for eight years and I will be nearly 63 by the end of thisacademic year. No, I am not ready to retire but I believe that I should take onsomething new now while I still have the “youth” and energy to do so.I informed the Board of Trustees of my decision at its Sept. 24 meeting, and the Boardhas taken steps to begin a search for my successor. Clyde Wendel, vice chairman ofRockhurst’s Board, will chair a search committee that will include trustees, a regent,an alumnus, a staff person and four elected faculty.I will continue as president until June 2006. Following that, I expect to take asabbatical, then receive a new assignment from the Jesuit Provincial.Sincerely,Edward Kinerk, S.J.PresidentLearning, Leadership and Service in the Jesuit Tradition
