Father Wild to retire
as 22nd president
Marquette University President Robert A. Wild, S.J., will announce his intent to retire during his annual President’s Address Thursday afternoon (March 4). Wild informed the Board of Trustees Wednesday of his desire to retire, effective June 30, 2011, or until a successor takes office, whichever comes later.
“For several years people have been asking me when I’m going to retire,” Wild said. “I tell them I enjoy what I’m doing – and I do, but there comes a time when you know it’s right. This is that time, with the university in a strong position.”
Wild, who will turn 70 this month, is the university’s 22nd president and one of the longest-serving.Parent News
