Provost Amanda Thomas, Ph.D., to Serve as Loyola’s Interim President

After the Rev. Brian F. Linnane, S.J., retires from the presidency of Loyola University Maryland on June 30, 2021, Amanda M. Thomas, Ph.D., will serve as the interim president until the next president assumes the role.

The Board of Trustees announced Thomas’ appointment today after their meeting earlier this week. The Board expects to complete Loyola’s presidential search and name a new president early this fall.

“The Board has full confidence that Dr. Thomas will provide the guidance Loyola needs at this moment in history and serve as a bridge between the two administrations,” said James Forbes, ’80, chair, Board of Trustees. “This is an opportune time for Loyola University Maryland, and the trustees and I have great optimism and enthusiasm for all that the months and years ahead will bring.”
