Following the departure of Dr. Aloia in June 2013, Concord’s Vice President and Academic Dean, Dr. Kendra Boggess, was named the University’s new Interim President in July 2013
Dr. Boggess understood the challenges that Concord was facing because of her experience as a long-time faculty member, Division Chair, President of the Faculty Senate, Associate Dean, and Vice President and Academic Dean. Concord faced some very difficult issues including: cuts in state appropriations that would eventually exceed 20%, declining student enrollment due to negative economic and demographic trends in southern WV, and declining financial performance reflective of the higher education situation found in other states as well.
Following her 2014 appointment as the 11th President of Concord University and first female President, Dr. Boggess, together with her leadership team, implemented systematic plans addressing political, structural, and resource issues. Dr. Boggess has provided strong leadership during recent turbulent times in higher education nationally and major disruption of higher education finances during a protracted economic downturn in southern West Virginia. Boggess led university renewal projects that have driven over $3 million of costs out of the system restoring positive changes in net position and achievement of financial stability during fiscal year ending 2018, while advancing the University’s long-standing mission.
Under her leadership, the general education program has been reformed to provide students with expanded choices among liberal arts and science courses, academic programs have been added, expanded, or refreshed, and under-utilized academic programs have been either reformed or sunset to better align scarce resources with Concord students’ key academic and operational priorities. Also, to further enhance students’ on campus experiences, Wi-Fi technology in all facilities now provides students access to 1 Gigabyte bandwidth, lighting has been upgraded to the latest LED technology in all facilities and external areas. The university recently renovated and modernized two Towers residence halls to better support its 40% on campus residential students and has decreased deferred maintenance of university facilities.
Concord continues to provide a quality, liberal-arts based education to its students, engage in scholarly and creative activities, and continue a long tradition of serving the regional community.
