With President Niel Nielson stepping down from Covenant College's presidency on June 30, 2012, we are in the process of searching for and selecting Covenant's sixth president. (Click here to see the initial announcement of Dr. Nielson's upcoming resignation.)

The Presidential Search Committee is composed of thirteen members who represent the board, alumni, students, faculty, and staff, and they bring experience, leadership, and a love of Covenant College. In addition, we have retained an executive search firm that has significant experience with Reformed Christian institutions to assist us in our search.

On behalf of the Board of Trustees and the Presidential Search Committee, I ask you to join us in prayer for God's blessing upon this presidential search. We also invite you to share your comments and nominations with the committee.

Though we regret seeing Dr. Nielson's tenure as president come to an end next year, we trust in our good and faithful God to provide his successor, and we look forward to continuing to advance the College's founding mission of exploring and expressing the preeminence of Jesus Christ in all things, by God's grace, for many generations to come.

Sincerely,

Marty Moore

Chairman, Presidential Search Committee
