What Retiring Kalamazoo College President Will Do with Her Free Time

Eileen Wilson-Oyelaran is not making a lot of plans as she leaves Kalamazoo College.  She will catch up on reading, watch a few movies and spend time in North Carolina, where she taught for years and was acting president of Salem Academy and College in Winston-Salem, N.C., before joining Kalamazoo College in 2005. She also hopes to spend more time in Nigeria, the homeland of her husband Olasope Oyelaran and a country in which she lived and taught for about 14 years, in the 1970s and 80s.  Wilson-Oyelaran, who became the first woman and first African-American president of Kalamazoo College in July 2005, will retire from that leadership role on June 30.
