Birmingham-Southern College named a new president today, just a year after hiring Ed Leonard as president.
Outgoing President Edward F. Leonard III is "vacating the position," according to a news release from the college.
In his place, the board of trustees announced that it has named former Chief of Staff Linda Flaherty-Goldsmith as the new president. She's the 15th president in the college's 160-year history.
"We are extraordinarily grateful that Linda is returning to lead the college and provide a seamless transition," said outgoing BSC Board Chair Bruce Rogers. "She is absolutely the best person to take on this role. She is financially savvy and brings a proven track record in higher education. Linda also has been a champion of Birmingham-Southern and she has a love of our city and deep roots in our community."
