Vice President Czarda to Assume Presidency of Greensboro College
“I am very excited at the opportunity to become part of Greensboro College,” says Czarda. “It presents a challenge and opportunity for me to help a fine institution with a 172-year history continue its own upward path, much as what we at Mason have been striving to do.” “Larry will be missed by all of us,” says Mason President Alan Merten. “In his many years at Mason he has worn many hats and has done extremely well in providing us with outstanding leadership. In my tenure as president, I have been blessed to have his council and support. We all have.”
