The president of Franklin Pierce University is resigning.
James Birge says he’ll step down next year, no later than June 15.
He’s been the head of the university in Rindge for six years, and is the school’s fourth president.
“I am proud of the accomplishments at Franklin Pierce and excited about its future because of these achievements,” Birge said. “As I reflected on these accomplishments and we begin to establish and implement additional changes at the University, I realized it is a good time to move on to allow new leadership to take on the new challenges.”
He says he’s giving advance notice to give the Board of Trustees time to find a new president.
