Columbia University’s interim president Katrina Armstrong will step down from her current role and return to lead the university’s medical center, the school’s board of trustees announced Friday.
“Dr. Armstrong accepted the role of interim president at a time of great uncertainty for the University and worked tirelessly to promote the interests of our community,” David J. Greenwald, chair of the Columbia Board of Trustees, wrote in a statement. “Katrina has always given her heart and soul to Columbia. We appreciate her service and look forward to her continued contributions to the University.”
