Colby-Sawyer College President To Step Down

Colby-Sawyer College

The president of Colby-Sawyer College plans to step down next year.

Thomas C. Galligan announced this week that he will leave the job at the end of June, when he’ll wrap up his tenth year at the helm of the small New London college.

"I've had a wonderful nine years, and I'm sure I'll have a busy and wonderful tenth," he said. "The whole time I've been at Colby-Sawyer, one of my themes is that change is good, and it's inevitable. You have to live your message and the institution, as always, will benefit from fresh ideas."

Galligan says he may return to teaching.

Colby-Sawyer has formed a search committee to find a replacement.

Michael serves as NHPR's Program Director. Michael came to NHPR in 2012, working as the station's newscast producer/reporter. In 2015, he took on the role of Morning Edition producer. Michael worked for eight years at The Telegraph of Nashua, covering education and working as the metro editor.
