Mount Aloysius President Leaving for New Post

When Mount Aloysius (PA) President Tom Foley first arrived at the Cresson Township college in 2010, he signed up for a ceramics class.  For the first few weeks, the students beside him had no clue he was the school’s new president.  Eight years later, Foley will leave the Mount as perhaps its most well-known face – a college president who fellow leaders said was as comfortable mingling with the school’s 2,900 students as he was shaping the campus itself through a cycle of rapid growth. Foley, 64, is taking a job this summer as president of a statewide consortium of 90 private higher education institutions, the Association of Independent Colleges and Universities of Pennsylvania.
