Presidential Transition


On Monday, June 10th, the Executive Committee of the North Carolina Wesleyan University’s Board of Trustees received and accepted President Dewey Clark’s resignation. The Board of Trustees and the College community appreciate the many accomplishments and milestones reached during Dr. Clark’s tenure, all of which have helped make Wesleyan the college it is today. After dedicating over 30 years of his life to Wesleyan as a student, employee, board of trustee member and President, Dr. Clark now wishes to explore other opportunities.

The Chair of Wesleyan’s Board of Trustees, Dr. Dan Crocker, commented that Dr. Clark has worked tirelessly since he became president.  His love for the college is reflected in the improvements made on campus, just one of a number of successes.  All the Wesleyan Trustees wish Dr. Clark and his family the very best as he pursues other endeavors.

Effective immediately, Dr. Evan Duff will become Wesleyan’s Interim President.  Dr. Duff has served Wesleyan over the last eight years in the capacities of Vice President of Adult and Professional Studies, Interim Provost and currently as the College’s Provost/Senior Vice President of Academic Affairs.  Combined, he has over sixteen years of higher education experience.
