Dear Members of the Wells Community,

Wells College is pleased to announce that Dr. Susan Henking, currently serving as Vice President of Academic and Student Affairs, has been appointed as the President of Wells College, effective June 30, 2024. Dr. Henking's appointment comes as part of our commitment to support a leader who knows the Wells College community and understands the complex issues of transition. Throughout her career, Dr. Henking has demonstrated a profound commitment to the success and well-being of students and to liberal education. At Wells College, she has been respected especially as a champion for our community.

Her extensive background includes a notable tenure as President of Shimer College in Chicago, where she navigated complex changes with accreditors. She brings her insight and experience in transition processes and will partner with the Board of Trustees for such planning to work with our advisors to assure necessary compliance and to provide appropriate avenues for preserving Wells College’s legacy.

Here is another website for Wells enthusiasts and historians to bookmark: https://wellsarchive.com/oral-history-archive/collections/covid/. Students enrolled in Professor Renfrow’s introduction to oral history course during the Spring 2022 semester collected oral histories from their peers to capture the challenges students faced, as well as their incredible resiliency, during the pandemic. The course and this collection were supported by funds from the Endeavor Foundation.

Dear Members of the Wells Community,

Jonathan Gibralter and Wells have parted ways effective June 20, 2024. I know that Jonathan deeply values the spirit of Wells College and was honored to serve the institution for the last nine years. The Board of Trustees thanks President Gibralter for his service to Wells.

The Board is working to name the next leader of Wells College and I will communicate again when that work concludes. As that process continues, College operations will be managed by Susan Henking, Vice President for Academic and Student Affairs and Robert Cree, Chief Financial Officer. We thank them for their efforts on behalf of Wells and in partnership with the Board.

Best,

Marie Chapman Carroll
Chair, Board of Trustees
