President of the College

Now in his third year as President of Washington College, Mitchell B. Reiss is bringing greater emphasis to global education, enhancing career development opportunities, and positioning the institution for future expansion.

During the first months of his Presidency, Mitchell Reiss established several new initiatives, including a partnership with Oxford University and a prestigious internship at NATO headquarters in Brussels. He rallied support to establish a Hillel House on campus and is directing the renovation and expansion of two major facilities: the Johnson Fitness Center and Miller Library.

At his inauguration, President Reiss conjured up the spirit of George Washington, who imparts his values to the everyday experiences of our graduates. In his remarks to the Class of 2012, he underscored the importance of quiet reflection—replicating the intellectual renewal afforded by patient listening and unhurried conversations with faculty and friends.  

Even as the College makes great strides to enhance students’ learning experience, the best is yet to come. Under the guidance of this consummate negotiator, Washington College has acquired two neglected properties—the former Board of Education building on Washington Avenue and the old Chestertown Armory fronting the Chester River—with tremendous potential.
