In a statement, President Gandre said, \u201cIt has been the honor of my professional life to serve MSM as president. I am deeply grateful for the opportunity to have served this extraordinary institution, first as a member of its administration and faculty and, since 2013, as its president. I have had the great privilege\u2014and profound responsibility\u2014of leading the School through a period of significant change and growth, and I am especially grateful to have done so alongside such talented, dedicated, and deeply caring trustees, faculty, and staff.\u201d<\/p>\n
During President Gandre\u2019s tenure, MSM has strengthened its financial position and its commitment to access and opportunity. He also guided MSM through the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, rallying faculty and staff in an all-hands, cooperative atmosphere that allowed the School to continue its operations. He first served MSM in a variety of administrative and leadership roles from 1985 to 2000, returned to the School as president in 2013.<\/p>\n
