Exit Interview: Mitchell Reiss Leaves Bunting Hall

While the Spy’s interview with Washington College’s president Mitchell Reiss last week was intended to be a conversation about his first four years at the 232 year old liberal arts institution, it turned out to be a look back at his only four years in Chestertown. That is due to the breaking news this morning that Dr. Reiss has accepted the position of President and CEO of the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation.

In his interview with the Spy, President Reiss looks back at where the College stands now, and some of the many challenges he faced since arriving on campus from William and Mary in May of 2009.  He also talks about the College as well as Chestertown’s role in protecting the Chester River, the College-Town task force chaired by John Moag, and finally how firmly he believes Washington College’s future.
