First woman president of Delaware State University stepping down after two years
The first woman to lead Delaware State University will leave her post after less than two years.
Wilma Mishoe, 70, will step down from the historically Black university at the end of the year, according to the universitys website.
Mishoe, who had been the first woman to head the universitys board of trustees, left retirement to become interim president in January 2017 after the departure of then-President Harry Williams. Tony Allen, the universitys provost and executive vice president, told The Associated Press that Mishoe had expected to help stabilize the school and then return to retirement.
Allen will take over as president on Jan. 1, according to the universitys website.
