Officials at St. John Fisher College say that Donald Bain has announced his plans to retie from presidency of the school in 2015.
That retirement will mark a 40 year career at Fisher. Bain Became president in 2004. He started at the college in 1975 as a history professor, and has held several administrative posts with Fisher.
During his tenure as president, Bain led Fisher through an academic reorganization as well as a capital campaign which raised over $52 million and funded the creation of the Wegmans Schools of Pharmacy and Nursing.
The Board of Trustees will form a search committee in September, with the expectation that a new president will be in place by the summer of next year.
