Mark Wrighton, George Washington University's interim president, arrived at a university in turmoil. Now he'll work to stabilize the campus.
in a response to a question about divesting from the fossil fuel industry — for which he later apologized. In August of that year, the university hired a marketing executive from Michigan State University who state prosecutors said was part of an effort to stonewall an investigation into disgraced sports doctor Larry Nassar.
In his retirement message, LeBlanc said GWU needed a leader who could plan for a future after the pandemic. But school officials, after consulting with LeBlanc, decided to accelerate the process and announced in September he would leave about six months sooner than planned.
More specifically, Wrighton said he is focused on fundraising, helping GWU continue to weather the pandemic, and filling open leadership positions including deanships at the School of Nursing and College of Professional Studies. Wrighton has already named a new provost, Christopher Alan Bracey, a legal scholar and longtime GWU professor.
The university needs a leader who is willing to immerse themselves in the community, Tromble added. So far, according to Sesno, the interim president is doing just that. Wrighton is a regular presence at campus events and, on a recent Wednesday, held a meet-and-greet with staff called “Pastries with the President.”
