Montana State University President Waded Cruzado announced Monday that the upcoming school year will be her last as the head of the flagship campus in Bozeman. Cruzado will retire effective June 30.
“A new academic year, replete with new opportunities, accomplishments and victories is about to begin; we have work to do,” Cruzado said in a letter announcing her retirement Monday morning. “I’m grateful I still have this year to enjoy your company, our conversations, and to celebrate our traditions one more time. I’m thankful that I’m in good health to enjoy this transition into retirement — a new stage that I long for and dread in equal measure.”
Asked why Cruzado chose next year to retire, MSU spokesman Tracy Ellig told Montana Free Press via email that her “immediate plans are to spend time with her grandchildren and family. Her plans beyond that are her own.” Ellig added that Cruzado will be “fully engaged in all her duties” until June 30 and that the search for her successor will be handled by Montana Commissioner of Higher Education Clayton Christian and his office.
