SYRACUSE — Cornelius Murphy, president of the State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry (ESF) since 2000, will step down after a successor is named.
Murphy announced his plans during a campus meeting today. He will focus on teaching and special projects at ESF after he steps down.
The ESF Board of Trustees has started the search process for a new president. Murphy will remain in his position until a replacement is found, which could take up to a year, according to the college.
Murphy joined ESF after 30 years at Syracuse–based engineering firm O’Brien & Gere, where he eventually rose to the position of president and chairman. He holds a doctorate in chemistry from Syracuse University and a bachelor’s degree in chemistry from St. Michael’s College.
“I have very much enjoyed my service to ESF and its extraordinary faculty, staff, and students,” he said in a news release. “I am confident that the college will continue to enhance our national and international service and commitment to our vision of ‘A Better World Through Environmental Discovery.’ ”
