The president of Westminster College is set to retire in May after nearly three years in the school's top post.
President Brian Levin-Stankevich, 64, who has led the school since July 2012, will step down after the 2015 commencement.
College officials announced the change in a Thursday news release.
Steve Morgan, who is the vice president of "institutional advancement" and alumni relations, will serve as interim president as trustees search for a new leader. Morgan, a Westminster administrator of 34 years, is credited for his fundraising efforts. Morgan, who holds a bachelor's degree in accounting from the University of Utah, will take over at the Salt Lake City liberal arts college this summer.
Levin-Stankevich launched a series of initiatives in his time as president, including one to make Westminster degrees more affordable.
Under his leadership, the 1,500-student school won South Salt Lake's "Partner of the Year" in 2013-2014, and a grant from the Katherine K. Dumke Foundation.
"I am proud of the achievements our campus community has made during my tenure," said Dr. Levin-Stankevich, including the partnership with South Salt Lake.
Tom Ellison, chairman of the Westminster College Board of Trustees, praised Levin-Stankevich's "strong commitment to civic partnerships" in a prepared statement.
