Elissa Tenny, the first female president of the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in its 157-year history, has announced she will retire from her post next year.
“Today, after a career in higher education of more than 45 years, I write to share that I will retire at the end of the 2023–24 academic year,” Tenny wrote in a letter to students and faculty. “I do so with enthusiasm for all you have done to shape the remarkable legacy that you, and I, and so many before us, share.”
