Stone plans to step down

Dr. Phillip Stone, president of Bridgewater College since 1994, announced he will retire at the end of the 2009-10 academic year. Under his tenure, Bridgewater College grew in enrollment, built impressive new academic buildings, achieved success on the football field and other athletics, and educated many young people who I've had the pleasure of watching develop into productive citizens. The official BC press release has many more details about Stone's work at Bridgewater College.

In his typical classy way, Stone announced his retirement early, giving the trustees a long window to seek a replacement. His shoes will be tough to fill.
