Storbeck/Pimentel to Find President for Sweet Briar College

June 14, 2016 – Storbeck/Pimentel & Associates has been chosen by Sweet Briar College to lead the search for its next president. In April, the school announced that president Phillip Stone would return to retirement, effective next July. Partner Anne Coyle will lead the Sweet Briar search for Storbeck.

“We are excited to have such an accomplished firm guiding us in this important process, but most importantly we are gratified by Storbeck’s enthusiasm for the possibilities that lie ahead of us,” said Teresa Pike Tomlinson, board chairwoman and chair of the search committee.

“My team and I are looking forward to engaging with the Sweet Briar community,” said Ms. Coyle. “We will be partnering with the presidential search committee to identify and recruit a diverse pool, and ultimately, a visionary leader to build on the College’s distinguished history — including the recent outpouring of alumnae support — to guide it to an even more promising future.”

The presidential search committee will be comprised of board members, as well as faculty, staff, alumnae and student representatives. The board of directors is committed to a broad stakeholder engagement process.
