After announcing last fall her plans to resign as president of St. Catherine University in St. Paul, Sister Andrea Lee has accepted the position as president of Alverno College in Milwaukee.
Sister Andrea, of the Servants of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, will take office at the start of the 2016-2017 academic year for the Catholic women’s college.
In a Feb. 23 letter to colleagues, Sister Andrea said “leaving St. Kate’s will be among the hardest things I have ever done,” citing the university’s accomplishments and community she’s experienced since she began in 1998.
St. Kate’s board of trustees expects to name a president in March.
