Get to know the president

Shippensburg University is going through a very transitional time. The Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education (PASSHE) is in the middle of redesign, the COVID-19 pandemic has ravaged the world and the U.S. has been going through social and political upheaval over the last few years.  Despite this, the world still turns, and the SU community is faced with another change.

Charles Patterson, then president of Mansfield University, would take her place as the interim president while the search for a new president began.

To conclude the traditional ceremony, graduates and attendees sang the SU Alma Mater song.
