Dr. Charles P. Teague - president of Spartanburg Methodist College for 11 years - has informed the College’s Board of Trustees that he intends to retire in July.
Teague announced his retirement at a meeting of faculty and staff, saying that his goals as president of SMC have been accomplished.
The Board of Trustees will appoint a Presidential Search Committee to oversee the search and selection process at its next meeting in October. Jerry Calvert, chairperson of the Board of Trustees, and Bill Painter, vice chair of the Board, will serve as co-chairs.
“In October, the Board of Trustees will refine the Strategic Plan that will guide the college for the next 10 years. To successfully implement this plan, the college needs a president with great energy, a clear vision, and the willingness to stay the course until the plan is successfully achieved,“ said Dr. Teague in a written statement. “As I prepare for the next stage in my life, it is appropriate that I pass the reigns of leadership to the next president.“
Dr. Teague came to Spartanburg Methodist College on July 1, 1997, from the position of senior vice president for academic affairs and dean of the faculty at Brevard College.
The school says Dr. Teague oversaw the construction of Bridges Residence Hall and Sparrow Residence Hall. That increased the college’s availability of on-campus housing by 210 rooms.
Enrollment at SMC during Dr. Teague’s tenure has grown from 503 students in the 1999 fall semester to 797 in the 2007 fall semester.
Dr. Teague plans to retire on July 1, 2009.
