Biographical Note

Terrence “Terry” J. MacTaggart, PhD, is an experienced leader and scholar in higher education. His consulting and research work focuses on higher education leadership and policy, board development, and presidential and chancellor evaluations. He held the chancellor’s position at the University of Wisconsin-Superior, the Minnesota State University System, and on two occasions at the University of Maine System. He also served as a board chair, senior executive, and faculty member at public and independent colleges and universities where he often led or participated in multiple institutional turnarounds.

Leadership support, evaluation, and transitions are the major topics of his advisory services and his research. He coauthored with Eileen Wilson-Oyelaran, president emerita of Kalamazoo College, the recently published book from the Johns Hopkins University Press entitled The New College President. Other recent publications include Assessing and Developing College and University Presidents, Crisis Leadership: A Guide for Boards and Presidents, and The 21st Century Presidency: A Call to Enterprise Leadership.
