“It has been an honor to serve SOCHE’s members and partners throughout my tenure...I’m going to miss working with these incredible colleagues,” Creighton said. “In my new role at NAC&U, I’ll have the opportunity to work with their national membership on matters of education, leadership, and civic engagement, which has been the focus of my scholarship and practice.”
Creighton has served as the president of SOCHE for 15 years. SOCHE is a regional group that works with southwestern Ohio colleges to collaborate on issues impacting them.
“We are thrilled that Sean will be joining us,” said Daan Braveman, chair of the NAC&U board of directors. “He has years of experience working with a consortium in a collaborative environment and is committed to the civic mission of higher education.”
