The President of Roberts Wesleyan College will be leaving that job next year.

John Martin will step down in May of 2014. He has been college president since 2002. He originally came to Roberts Wesleyan as Provost in 1996.

Martin says the college is moving into the next critical phase of development, and he feels now is the right time to make the transition.  The board of trustees is now beginning the process for choosing a successor.
