Dr. Johnny Moore has resigned as president of Philander Smith College in Little Rock to pursue other personal and professional opportunities, the school said. He had been working as president of Philander since July of 2012 and was formally invested May 3, 2013.
“While he is no longer president of Philander, Dr. Johnny Moore remains a valued alumnus and much-honored former athlete, with strong ties to our college,” said Board Chairman Artee Williams.
The Board of Trustees will soon initiate a nationwide search for a 14th president for Philander Smith College. Interim President Lloyd E. Hervey, Ed.D., will work with faculty, students, alumni and donors to continue Philander’s mission.
Founded in 1877, Philander Smith College in downtown Little Rock is a private, residential, co-educational, four-year, historically African American undergraduate liberal arts college.
Philander Smith College has more than 500 students working toward four degrees: bachelor of arts, bachelor of science, bachelor of business administration, and bachelor of social work.
