Rose Marie Kujawa, president of Madonna University in Livona, Michigan, has announced that she will step down at the conclusion of the 2014-15 academic years. At that time, she will have served as president of the university of 14 years. Madonna University is an independent, coeducational, Catholic liberal arts university sponsored by the Felician Sisters. The university enrolls about 3,200 undergraduates and 1,200 graduate students. Women make up more than 70 percent of the undergraduate student body.
During President Kujawa’s tenure, enrollments have increased by 10 percent, $40 million in capital improvements have been made to the campus, and the university established its first doctoral program.
Sister Kujawa joined the faculty in 1975 and taught the first computer classes at the university. Before being named president, she served as academic dean.
