The average tenure of a college president at ABHE institutions is steadily declining, now averaging just 7.2 years — far from the decades-long leadership of past generations. Why is this happening, and what does it mean for the future of biblical higher education?
Matt Pinson, President of Welch College, shares his perspective as an exceptional long-term leader who has served for over 20 years. He reflects on the challenges of presidential longevity, the shifting landscape of higher ed leadership, and the key lessons he’s learned along the way.
From hiring and faculty relations to balancing institutional change with stability, Matt offers wisdom for current and aspiring leaders navigating today’s fast-changing environment.
