The people guiding Tumbleberry forward

Leading together

Our leadership team works alongside students, faculty, staff and the Board of Trustees to keep Tumbleberry focused on its promise: an excellent, affordable education rooted in the Ridgeline region.

From the President

A university that belongs to its region

When I arrived in Tumble Falls, a farmer told me she hoped her grandchildren would never have to leave home to chase a big idea. That stays with me. Tumbleberry exists so students can do world-class work here, in these mountains, and then take it anywhere they want to go.

Thank you for being part of what we are building. My door in Founders Hall is open, and I hold open office hours for students on the first Tuesday of every month.
