MARQUETTE, MI— Dr. Kerri Schuilling is coming to the end of her tenure as NMU’s president.
New president Dr. Brock Tessman’s first official day is next Wednesday, February 1st.
In an email to campus Wednesday, Schuilling said it was an honor and privilege to serve in the top spot over the last year and a half, even if she never aspired to the post. She said she learned early on it’s important to take advantage of opportunities as they present themselves, and to push oneself beyond preconceived limitations.
She thanked the NMU Board of Trustees for their confidence in her abilities to lead the institution as the school searched for a new president.
Schuilling is moving into a part-time position as Special Assistant to the Provost.
